Anyone else cringe at 60s "pro street" cars? Crate engine, tubbed, blower



When I see a chopped up pro street car, all I can think it that the person worked very hard to ruin what would have been a nice classic car.
I assume they are not very practical at all, and the majority are rarely driven.

This seems like a paradigm that was popular in the 80s or something.
Did this get popular when muscle cars were not as collectible as they became in the 90s?

When I see these cars re-listed for sale, it appears they are not easy to sell.
It now seems very dated, and I wonder who buys these cars today.
Guys under 40 probably associate it as their "dad's car".
But, their 60/70 year old dad's aren't buying 500hp cars that are tubbed with hood blowers on them.
They're most likely selling them off.
