I love older cars. It make sense to me to restore them even if you can't sell them for waht you have in them. I am doing a restoration of my wife and my 1980 Trans-Am. We are kind of hot rodding it though. It is a Turbo T/A with the 301V8 Turbo. The turbo design was all wrong for the motor. We are strengthening the bottom end, crank, and other stuff. Then we are gonna get the heads and intake manifold ported and polished. The turbo set-up is gonna change to the same style set-up that's on the GNX and GTA. The car's also gonna be converted to fuel injection. All of the header, turbo ducts and intercooler and intercooler mounts are going to be custom made. It is a lot of money and hard work but the end result will be a somewhat looking stock Turbo T/A with stock HP of 210HP converted and making around 400HP.
I think its worth it to see others faces and watch them disappear in the mirror.
