No offense taken. The "rarity" of the car is not the reason for me keeping it as a collectible, it's originality is. I ordered this car brand new and it has not left my possession since then. As a car collector, I can tell you that if you came across 2 identical cars at a collectors auction, the mint condition original owner "survivors" usually command a premium. If I ever have children, this WS6 will probably end up getting passed down to them when I'm gone. Even if I ever decided to sell the car, it probably wouldn't be for the next 30-40yrs. Think of it this way, the C2 and early C3 big block corvettes weren't exceedingly rare, but how much do you think an original-owner mint "survivor" with every piece of paperwork (including the original documentation and window sticker) would be worth vs. an identical run-of-the-mill "restored" one? You might be surprised at the difference.

All in all, if I want one to modify, race and go crazy with, I'll just go buy another one and play with that one. But, to each his own.

You're car do what u want. Some people wanna pass them down to the kids, then others watch to much Barret Jackson. I just picked up a 97 T/A ws6 m6 Hardtop with 74,000 miles. I plan to drive the hell out of it when I get the blown head gasket fixed.

I understand what your saying. I mean hell, between me, my dad, and my grandpaw, we have some pretty rare stuff. 30 Model A Tudor Deluxe Phaeton, 91 GMC Syclone, 72 El Camino SS, 69 C10 (not that rare, but you don't see to many), 51 Panhead EL, AC Cobra replica with ORIGINAL N.O.S. 427 side oiler, and several others. All I'm saying is simple stuff like a lid (takes 5 minutes and a screwdriver) is not gonna hurt collect ability whatsoever. It can be put right back to stock. Its not like welding in a cage or something. Now I will admit, I do cringe every time I see someone cut up something like a Syclone, Firehawk, or any other super rare cars like those.
