That (the latter) has been what’s motivated me. My first car was a 1971
Mustang Boss 351, which I definitely wouldn’t have converted (though I did keep
it until just a couple of years ago) because it would have been horribly
impractical, but more because I just liked it too much the way it was and
wouldn’t have felt right about gutting it. And it was a homologation model for
stock-car racing, so collectors want it just the way it was. But about that
time, I also promised myself that if I was ever sufficiently fabulously
wealthy, I would have a ’34 Ford three-window coupe _and_ a ’50 Ford sedan _at
the same time_. :-) At the time (I was probably ten or twelve) I assumed
that I’d get a ’50 Ford first, and work my way up to a ’34, but wound up
getting the ’34, and starting right in on electrifying it. I will, of course,
post photos when it’s done.
