Well, I pondered that same question years ago. Your ride is a reflection of you and your personality. There is no right or wrong answer here. Good luck!

 

Unless it's a trailer queen, your car would be more fun and probably more valuable (tastefully) modified. Who can complain about more power, better brakes, bigger wheels?! If you change your mind, you can easily sell the parts on websites like this one.

As long as nothing is permanent, you've got nothing to lose!

 

is it a 2 barrel?? ..swap to 4 b

i'd just port everthing out...heads ,intake ,headers...just KEEP the stuff
you took off.

 

Ever been to a mustang show? Their are lots of old original/stock mustangs out there. There is nothing "original" about a stock stang.

My advice would be to mod, BUT do it tastefully. That means no chrome and suttle in my books.

Go nuts and have fun!

 

All that matters is what you want , It's your car have it the way you like.

It will be you enjoying the ride, so what makes you happy is what should be done, dont worry what others say or do to their rides,make yourself smile.

 

I am only just sagest you if its the original engine, don't go for mod. Keep all your original parts and just do bolt on mods.

 

New year, is it still stock?

 

Mod. is a good idea. you can try it. It can improve the appearance of your vehicle.

 

Do what ever you want, its your car. Decide what thecar will be used for, Do you want to go concours or drive it.
When I got my 68 flop top I spent a ton on original till one day I said lets drive this thing.
I started with an AOD, then a 331, then rear disks, power windows, seats from a 93 done in leather, LED tail lights, Shelby Roll bar,ten spoke wheels, remote entry and trunk plus many, many items to numerous to mention.
On the outside at a quick glance, the vehicle looks basicly stock till you look close, it's then the mods become evident.
I kept all the parts I removed but what for, I have seats, engine, tranny, interior etc,etc all that stuff does is take up room.
Nothing more exhiliarating than tooling around in a classic.
Unless the car is a very rare model there is not much keeping you from personalising it.
