These tips have been developed to help you preserve and retain the value of
your car. Unfortunately, there are people who have taken
reproduction cars and tried to make them look like early originals. Due to the
proliferation of reproductions over the past 30+ years, it is better to leave
your car in original, as-raced condition.
Try not to paint or restore
your car. This will mask the original features. It's hard to
replace patina.
Resist cleaning or polishing.
This removes the patina which helps identify the car as an
original. If you have to clean it, just a mild cleaning is suggested.
Don’t rest the car on its tires.
Tires will develop flat spots. It is best to raise the tires off the surface
by resting the car on blocks.
