This falls under the category of personal taste, I for one will not speak negatively of your desire for modern conveniences in a 30+ year old sports car. I do watch many custom car shows on the Motor trend channel and not all restorations of older cars are meant to maintain the original design of the car. whether your into Concourse, custom, track, street sleeper or a reliable daily driver the choice is an individual one. I like some modern conveniences that don't drastically change the appearance of my car. I have an updated radio/multi - CD player and speakers, remote door locks that are tied into the original alarm system (bypasses the alarm key in the drivers door). Updated headlights and the main fuse panel, added USB and blue tooth capability. looking at possibly upgrading the alternator and going with the electrocooler Air conditioner system. Heck, I have even been looking at the CIS to EFI conversion. The amount of money I spend is always an issue since I am retired, I'm not poor but I do consider the cost of each mod.
