perhaps some of us miss the best part of the hobby being caught up in the "numbers game"...

are we hesitant to even drive and enjoy our precious investment grade muscle cars??

what if we lose the original born with block because of an over-rev or missed shift?

i guess then we have to keep a non-numbers block in the car to drive and keep the born with block stored away for safe keeping...

or maybe a camaro we can flog without remorse when we feel the need and our original born with drive train car safe at home in its environmentally stable storage facility

there will be a day when we all wish we had spent a little more time with the pedal down and a little less time crawling under cars with a flash light checking numbers.."



how true that is, the day is NOW! I could see if you were fortunate enough to have a museum with several cars or could tour the show circuit with some trailer queens, original numbers matching is nice to proclaim. I prefer to mash the gas and keep the POP matching motor and trans wrapped up in the garage. if I cant drive it without worrying what is the sense?
Life is too short. Get in and go!
