[urq] Resale regarding Stock VS "Replica"

[j.koenig]

I completely agree with Brandon.

That said, consider how much it will cost you to build what you want.
You might be way ahead to sell yours and buy the car you want.
It is often cheaper and easier to buy what you want than to build it yourself.
Let the builder lose his money instead of you and yours.

Of course, if it's the building 'just your way' you want, who is anyone else to argue?
Can't really argue with keeping and modding the ol' Pride & Joy, either, if that's your 
thing.

Hello All,

I have been tormenting myself back and forth on my 83 ur-q trying to decide if keeping it 
mostly stock is the way to go (interior, exterior, with some minor mods under the hood for 
better power & reliability) OR if I should take the path I'd like to, and go weekend 
warrior track car with it (20vt, caged, not much left stock, etc).

Now some would say the resale is only there for an unmolested car, which in most cases I 
would say is correct, but after seeing several A2 rally replicas hit the market for well 
over what even the most pristine of unmolested Ur-q's are selling for really has me second 
guessing which path to take on this project. Now, all in all resale really doesnt matter 
as I plan to be buried in the car, and from that fact alone I should be able to make up my 
mind and just do what I want... but theres something else.... this little thing called 
responsibility that is kicking me in the butt telling me to not wreck the resale on the 
car making it in to what I want apposed to what it used to be.

Insight appreciated, I just found it interesting that a replica of a rally car would sell 
for double what a pristine perfect museum quality Ur-q would go for...
