I'm going to modify the car to my taste and be aware that it potentially impacts my resale value. It's worth it to me to enjoy the car for the years that I have it.

I mod the hell out of my cars but it's all appearance mods, I'm not into performance, 460 is enuf to me. My closet looks like an auto parts shelf as 99% of the mods will come off and the stock stuff will go back on for the trade. 40 years in the car biz, and yeah, the industry likes stock cars coming back in...they particularly like stock exteriors and wheels.
