Question So, shall I or not?

OK,

I just bought a 1979 Rx7, rust free, 98,000 miles, white - cream/white with very, very little wrong with it. I plan to SOLO-2 the car with the SCCA, but I am also considering making into a fully prepared ITA or PRO-7 racecar.

Hey, I used to race.

Is this car worth anything more to anyone else, would it be a sin to gut it, put a cage in it and throw away just about every original part?

Let me know, I don't know what to think...

I was thinking of making it 100% original (not hard to do) and fix all that's broken and drive it back to Chicago and sell it to someone who wants it original more than I do.


K...

Whatever makes you happy, bu if it were mine, I'd restore it As was stated earlier, there arent many stock 7's left around, theve all been modded, swapped and gutted already . Anyway, just do what you want, but if it were me, I'd save the poor thing...

Gut it and have fun. Stock cars have very , very little $ value. Even low milage , mint examples. I know, I have one and the only interested parties want it for free.
