E body guy from Oregon checking in.

Some people are just “Resto Nazi’s” and there dicks about it. They fail to realize it is your car to do with as you please. Owning an old car is not a prerequisite or a unwritten contract will promise to do a restoration on the car.

“I live by, your car your way.”

My phrase has always been, "There are hundreds of parts in a car, and more then just one way to put them back together"That said, I understand if someone has the 440 Six Pack/ Hemi R/T, SE, one of only how many, that modifying might not be the best financial choice. Then again, as we have been saying, it's their car, let them do what they want with it. I think that the crazy values on some of the e bodies obscures the fact that they are just cars, and were meant to be driven.
