Default Advice on selling slightly modified Corvette

Hello all I have obtained alot of great information and advice on the site. I enjoy the discussions and benefit from the shared experiences. Apologize for waiting so long to post but I have enjoyed reading the discussions on here.

I have been entertaining the thought of selling my 63 roadster to start another project. Have owned it for a long time. It is mostly original in good shape, with what I consider tasteful improvements:

-Classic motorsports tko 600
-Aftermarket Hei distributor with Tach drive
-Trick flow aluminum heads

It is smooth as silk at 75 mph and 2200 rpm. Good gas mileage, etc.

The motor (327+.030) is not numbers matching.

I have a good muncie, original points tach drive distributor, metal shielding and some double hump heads all which were on the car when I bought it.

I realize statistically not many (except on here!) would modify their midyear (even mildly) out of fear from the numbers wolf pack . I simply wanted the car to be more fun and practical to drive with my reversible modifications.

Your thoughts whether it would be prudent to return it to semi stock and have it blend with the other non numbers cars for sale, or as it is, which is 100 % more enjoyable to drive are appreciated.

There are many boards I could not approach this subject on as they would judge me for having the audacity to change anything on the car in the first place.

I thank you for your opinions or experience on the topic. Have a good week.

Hey there snake.
Sounds like a nice car. I'm going to say to go back original as close as you can. Modifications will only cost you more cash and maybe more headaches as well. I hear ya about the "NUMBERS MATCHING ONLY" crowd, although I do love a numbers matching car, don't get me wrong. My heart/love is with pro-touring cars hands down. They looks the best, handle the best and run the best in my opinion.
What kind of project are you looking to get into?
Good luck with the sale!

Why not try to sell it without the changes and listen to the feedback to decide if you should put it back.

Wouldn't make any difference to me so long as I got the original parts with it. It's not a numbers car either way and I assume it would be priced accordingly.
