When Dave is done with that car, it will be worth the same in x9 as a4. If it was a numbers matching drivetrain, he would restore it as the assembly line had it. This is his end all car (for now) and he wants black. I give him credit to make it the way he wants to. I sometimes contemplate dropping a fire breathing hemi in my all numbers matching road runner ragtop that has been in the family for 31 years so I can have more fun with it. A person has the right to make his car however they feel necessary.
