Agree with these points, but....

The average modern OEM finish has about 10 times the resistance to paint chipping from road debris as your typical restoration refinish job will.

A new vehicle is going to depreciate pretty heavily whether you drive it and incur some "road wear", or not. The same is not true for a classic car restored to a very high standard.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
