91 B4C...restore or not?

So I bought what I thought was a 91 L98 Z28, but come to find out it's actually a L98 B4C RS. I like the Z, but I know how rare a B4C is. Now the question is do I restore it back to what it originally was (white with black interior and white wheels) or do I sell it and get a Z28 like I wanted. I can't get pictures to upload, but as the car sits it's gray with red interior and red wheels. I'm guessing this was done in 2003 when the car was stolen (yes I made sure that's all cleared up). It's an Oregon car with a very solid body and underbody.

I have a 92 and decided to keep it stock. wasn't that many of them made for starters and don't know how many are actually left that haven't been parted out for the engines and rear discs or totaled.

That's kind of what I'm leaning towards, I found a complete black interior I'm going to pick up this week.

Its entirely up to you. Some people will tell you to restore the rare piece of 3rdgen history. some will say its your car, do what you want with it.

If you plan to mod the camaro to a point where none of the B4C will remain, then I'd sell the B4C. If your satisfied with some of the best performance a 3rdgen had to offer then keep it.

It's a B4C! If it were me, I'd restore it.

Not planning on modding it. With what it is I'm going to restore it.
