That's a hell of a lot more what this hobby is about than polishing your air cleaner every Saturday, at least as far as I am concerned.

I agree wholly, I respect the truly rare. But if I honestly sumbled upon a numbers matching 302 z28 with a race history. I probably wouldnt keep it. I would sell that car to someone who was going to enjoy it as art.

That being said about my point Im guilty too. I wouldnt be caught dead in a 4 door malibu even as I encourage others to do exactly that. Because the hobby needs the entry level people. But there is a lot of deep seeded over generations bias towards cars. Ive been casually looking for a deal on a bubbletop car for a while, whenever I open a craigslist ad and its a 4 door I feel like my time was wasted.

I know every year there are people with classics on power tour who get downright HEATED that there are those in 5th gen camaros on tour with them. but truth be told its guys buying bolt on cold air intakes for those cars that make it possible for companies to produce and sell low volume restoration parts for a 1964 grand prix.
