Tin Soldier on the Market

[DW31S]

Most collectors aren’t racers, most racers aren’t collectors. I can’t tell you how many times people tell me I’m nuts for racing my car…I tell them I’d go nuts if I didn’t. I’d run past a row of restored cars to see one that was raced when new, has never been restored, and still gets beat on. I’m not gonna be the richest guy in the cemetery…but I might be the one that had the most fun.

Well put DW315. I’m in the middle of the road to what you refer to. I like a nice clean detailed factory appearing car that’s driven to the cruise in - car show. I enjoy getting in my 4 speed car n cruising 50 miles to a cruise in n hang out talk to people. Does it have some modern stuff on it like radial tires n gas shocks, yes. I want to have a good ride n be safe on my trip.
Now do I appreciate a nut n bolt concours restoration on a COPO Camaro, absolutely! A well used old drag car that’s still got rubber build up on the rear quarter wells, absolutely!
That’s what’s cool 😎 about our hobby we all enjoy. To each is his own. There’s plenty of room on each side of fence you decide to be on.
