I am also not a fan of mixing old with new.  It removes all elements of what the car truly was.  In my mind, it's simply different and not better.  I never understood why some want old classic cars to drive and ride like a new car.  I like that sense of being taken back in time when driving an older car.

I must confess I did have a MSD ignition and a T-5 transmission on my 1965 Mustang.  That is about as far as I will go with mixing old and new.  I agree 100% with you about being taken back in time.  After all, isn't that why we own the cars we do?   However, I think the younger generation who have one foot in the classic car scene do like the more modern Chip Foose upgrades.  So who knows, one day when I am no longer around my 1966 fastback may be sporting 17 inch rims (LOL)!
