Numbers Matching is over rated. I never intended to own a Numbers Matching Camaro but when one fell in my lap I really realized its more of a hindrance than anything else if you want to build a Camaro the way "you" want it so that you can enjoy it. Dont destroy it or change anything so that it cant be put back. Dont get rid of anything that you will wish you would have kept later on down the road. But, dont fret over the details, do your own thing. Color Combos, Electronic Ignition, Dual Electric Fans, Aluminum Heads, even Vintage Auto Air if you want. Drive it like you stole it... Enjoy it. Thats what it was built for. Just be sure to Insure it well. Just keep All the original "Numbers Matching" Stuff you take off the Car.
On the other hand, people customize cars all the time, they did it with these old cars back when they were new the same way you guys are doing it now a days. I don't think there is a right or wrong, just diference of opinions... like everithing else in life. One thing I can tell you right now is my wife and I don't want to end up with some sort of museum artifact that we will be afraid to drive or even look at and take the fun out of the whole thing.

Dont get me wrong, I'm still buying good top quality parts just not worrying about things being exactly as they left the factory just because its a numbers matching car. Alot of people are just **** about it. I'm not spending 3 times the price for NOS when a Brand New Part will do the same job or better. Some people buy there Camaro to drive and enjoy. I have toys on the shelf already. Sounds like you are of the right mindset. I hate it when people dont enjoy their Camaros.
