Dilemmas don't come much better than this. To restore, or dust-off and drive a 428 Cobra Jet time capsule?

They are only original ONCE!!! Drain & replace all the fluids. Check & replace the brakes & all seals & bushings as needed. Detail it & DRIVE!!! Don't Mess with a great thing!!!

Definitely clean it up, and keep it as originally as humanly possible. And drive it. Not a lot. Not in the rain or weather. But definitely drive it.

That's my old '69's interior. I miss that car.
