IMO, some of those mods are reversible. Funny now how 3.6 upgrades (with the original engine sold) and backdates may hurt the values. History repeats itself I guess - longhoods 'updated' to impact bumper look, etc... Down the line there will be opportunists buying these modded cars and trying to return them to original condition no doubt.

That's what happened with the '60s musclecar guys. They threw away all the "uncool" stuff from those SS454 Chevelles and Boss Mustangs and now you have to pay almost 6,000 bucks for an air cleaner and 1,000 for the correct chrome exhaust tips.
To expand on the slang term 'virgin car,' we fondled and molested and basically raped thousands upon thousands of American musclecars over the years and now the big money only wants the virgins--or what appear to be virgins.
