82 trans am build on it or resto

i have a 1982 trans am with a dual throtle body crossfire injection, i am debating weather or not to build on this car or to try to leave is stock due to "rarity". i have been researching around but to no luck have i found any clear answers to how uncommon my car is. Is the car worth any signifigant amout if i keep it stock, or is it that noone cares to the fact that they are out there.

Re: 82 trans am build on it or resto

myself,if car is really clean and original,i'd be tempted to
preserve as original.if i did do any mods i would keep it
authentic to what it is,fix the original GM slip-ups(add
SFCs for example)and enjoy-that is what i did with my
'82z
BTW lots of potental with that CFI-just have to know
what modifications to do

I'd keep it stock, but thats me. I have a 64K original 82 T/A, all stock and its going to stay that way. I'm a big fan of the 82s.
