At some point that original model A will need to have something done. I look at it as many historical sites in a state of preservation, doing and replacing things as closely to original as possible. Do any of us do the same with our modern vehicles? I try to stick to OEM, but my 2008 Mustang GT has many upgrades and non-factory items on it that in my opinion make it perform better. I’m not sure modern cars will really reach the point of collector worthy or restorable, but I’m sure none of the folks that bought these cars when they were new ever thought they would be on the road 92 years later too.
