68 barracuda restore or hot-rod?????

Keep it close to original for a return on your money. I would add a few upgrades for performance and looks, but keep the car as close to an everyday driver as possible. People pay good money for a car that idles, handles well, does not overheat, no headers, not too loud, and stock color is a + although I did ditch the green on mine. I am going out of those bounds on mine but not looking for a return on all my investment. I do it for the hobby and to have fun doing it.
