Had it tuned and the bearings and drag upgraded at the same time. It now has 6.8 gears. Even without a new handle or paint job, there is no way I could get my money back. Good thing it is never going anywhere. It was the same way with a '64 Chevele I had. Line bored, Holly 850, Holly Hi-rise intake, high performance cam, tuned headers, new valves, brand new exhaust, etc. are things I as the owner enjoyed. No one else was willing to pay for those improvements when I sold the car even though they got to enjoy the benefits. Agreed. The sellers always think they can recover that money spent, but most times that's never the case. 1 Quote
