Yes and no. Of course I am wanting to maintain it's value but I also want to be a good steward of ownership while it is in my possession.
I'm also into old cars. Some guys like to tear into them and modify them to their taste and others go crazy finding an untouched "barn find" and leave it and enjoy it exactly how they found it. Some will sell or pass on a very original nice car because they can't bring themselves to start modifying and hot rodding it. They look for something already changed from stock.

Things are only original once and, as said above, "you can't unring a bell".

So in car terms I look at this as kind of a "barn find".
