I say if you own it build it to what suits you .... just dont let it sit idle and rot .... hoarders do more damage to this hobby than anything.

I totally agree that there are some people who hang onto every little part, and will never let them go. And it makes it very difficult for those of who need the part to "restore" their Chevelle, and can't find it. So what is the alternative? Replacement parts, some made in the US but most are usually made in a foreign country. But most end up building it into whatever their "dream is" for their car.

Now will their be any "original Chevelles" left in another 25 years? I hope and think so. Will anyone be able to afford to own them? Maybe people with an endless supply of money.

For me, years ago financially I should have sold the Chevelle to pay some bills, but I couldn't and didn't. Now, is my Chevelle all original, no, but it is a piece of my family and will continue to be til the day I die. I just hope that there are alot of people who think that way.

Just my thoughts...
