should i restore this car??

Ok guy, right now i have a 91 Z convertible, i pretty much have changed alot and use it as an all out show car. I just recently came across another 91 Z, its white, tan interior, black top, auto. Its in pretty good shape but needs a trans. So was thinking since my other vert is all modified i would keep this original. In your opinions do you think its worth it to repair the trans and just keep it locked up for a couple of years then try to sale it for should i jsut fix it and dump it now. Thanks

If your handy, you can get a rebuilt trans from AutoZone for about $750, go for the one for the Corvette, there only about $50 more.
