Just a thought-- take it easy

[Trophyman]

I see a trend that worries me. Please take this as it is meant. I completely stripped a 62 Impala SS that was perfect. It was 6 years old and I was 16. Big bad racer ya know. 283 PG, AC and every other option you can think of. Buckets, console, PS, PB. Damn.
I HAD to go drag racing! Stripped everthing. Interior, AC, all of it. Raced in PS/MA at Lions drag strip. Did pretty well too. Later put a 4 speed in it. Sold all the take off stuff so I could buy parts. Well a year later I got married to my bride and the car was history. Guy that bought it ripped it open and put the motor in an old boat he had. Sold some parts off and crushed it.
Now-----are we doing the same to the finite number of Chevelles that are left. 502-700 CID 6 speeds. Rear ends. Complete suspension change outs.
Will my Grandkids have any stock or at least near stock Chevelles in 20-25 years? I'm worried. A large majority of the "Racing" Chevelles will not be around then. I built a 36 Ford 3 window. Left a lot of it stock. It's still here and it is 74 years old. What will a racing Chevelle look like or perform like when it is 74? Take a 70. In 34 years it will be 74. In the year 2044!!!
Do you think they'll last?
I am just suggesting that we take a step back and think, that's all.
I don't want to fight or offend friends or be flames to death.
But do you at least see my point?
Thanks for listening.
