Default PT it or leave this 'Time Capsule' alone?

Thought I'd show pics of something not normally seen here. Personally, the paint scheme is growing on me. That optional interior is very cool IMO. Car was just sold, dealer was asking $53,900. Has a 265 in it and it looks the same way underneath.

I don't know, looks too nice to tear apart... but on the flip side, you would think you'd be safe from finding any surprises when working on it.

that car is to nice to do whatever is the coolest thing to do right now... it is a classic, it will never look dated as is.. but you can bet money (literally) that once you touch it.. it will be worth less in 5 years than if you had just left it alone... and it will never be that cool again

X2. If someone wanted to mod it, maybe a set of wheels and tires and call it good (I would drop it a bit also). Those parts can always be returned to stock without any scars.

Very nice car, Skip.

Interesting responses...

I thought guys here would throw a motor in it and a competent chassis underneath it.

I am with the " leave it alone" crowd... To many other willing candidates out there to get chopped and welded...

Thumbs up

Part of me wants to leave it alone, part of me wants to throw the pro-touring goodies at it.
It is a really nice car though.

Most here are level headed. Don't even think about doing anything to that except change the oil, IMO.
