My friend Bill's 1957ish Austin Healey is probably one of those. He bought it around 1970 for $50 from a junkyard before it could be scrapped and it's been a drag car off and on most of the time between now and then. It'll probably go back to original someday... all the rare and hard to find bits are still there. Bu if it didn't spend all those years modified the car would've disappeared decades ago.
