I looked into the cost, and it is $250 per shock, plus $25 return shipping, and I don't think that it is worth it for my car, since even though it is a matching numbers car, I doubt that investing $500 for matching number shocks will be worth while. The only time that I would consider it, would be if there wasn't a replacement available, and that was my only choice. In life, we all have to make choices, and at my age, I will let someone else worry about every last detail of originality. I will keep them with the rest of spare original parts, should the next caretaker want them.
Whenever possible, I use the correct part within cost reasonable price. If I were 30 years younger, I might even consider a frame off restoration, but not now. Besides, I prefer to drive my cars, rather than having a trailer queen, or a museum piece hidden away from the public viewing it.
