[urq] Resale regarding Stock VS "Replica"

[Peter]

I really don't think we have anything to worry about here in the States
right now. The prices on all "toys" (except Porsche) has dropped
dramatically in the last year. That being said; I agree with everyone that
you should build/preserve the car that makes you happy. That is not said
without a few complaints. i.e. S-line is building a 700hp  rally car out of
a near perfect example. Of course the owner is entitled to do whatever he
wishes; but for some reason it still irks me when he could have taken a less
pristine car and accomplished the same result. And of course everyone knows
my love for Gary Bergmans 29,000 mile black pristine car where I cringe
every time I hear he is taking it to the track. It's to the point we have
taken the URQ25 yellow sponsors car and put a 20V in it in hopes that he
will race it instead on the promise of putting his car away. /Peter
