A 100% Restoration is a car comprised of all original authentic parts. So once you replace the points and condensor with a Pertonix inside the distributor..is the car still a Restoration? If we're true to our classification .. no the car is a Restomod, that is a car that has the appearance of the original, but it's mechanicals have been replaced with modern parts of today.

Note... the forum doesn't set out "Original" as a classification (we'd get so few posts so why bother) but many owners describe their cars as such. My thinking is that an Original is all Original even if a beat up wreck.

Should an Original command more money then a restoration, or a Restomod?

If I have a gorgious Restoration but want the security of driving with a Disc Brake modification, am I lowering the value of the car?
