When admiring or buying a first generation Camaro, which is more important; originality of the car (matching numbers, paperwork, factory options still in place, oldmarkings and stickers) or the condition of the vehicle(body work done, new seats, upgraded rearend, new engine).
Just curious. I personally enjoy an original car with matching numbers and such. Just curious about opinions....

I have no interest at all in rusted cars. Unless the car is very rare and expensive I have to believe trying to properly restore a rusted/damaged car with good quality (GM) sheetmetal is going to be a financial loser.

I would say numbers matching taking into consideration how much rust there is and other restoration factors like interior, engine work etc.If it needs major metal work, floors, doors trunk roof, qtrs and fenders then I would consider all the costs involved and weigh that against if I am keeping it or trying to make a buck off of it. Somewhere along the line, the cost factor has to be considered no matter what, unless of course you just won the lottery!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
