It is a thoughtless and lazy man who doesn't have one of each.
A resto-mod with a V8, auto trammission, A/C, power steering to travel in luxurious comfort.
A basically stock looking one with inline Stovebolt engine with some upgrades to be able to drive 70 MPH and still pull stumps, maybe while driving 70 MPH. (haven't done the stump pulling and then drag it behind at 70 yet. Bucket list.)
And one built bone stock as original.
I'm currently in the process of building the latter.
