The company doing this work is also culpable for this. If they truly cared for the preservation of history and just working ethically, they would have turned down the job. Alot of people in this hobby understand that, most don't. We see it all the time in the TV shows and all over the net - these cars fall into the wrong hands and people wreck them. Too many people are getting rich from doing the wrong thing - part of our society. Money is worth more than ethics. Hopefully this "chop shop" loses some business from people seeing this post.
What a shame.
And here I thought this thread had finally died.
It's a car folks! It's not a work of art, it was something that was mass produced, there just weren't many ordered in this particular combination.
The owner can do whatever he wants with it including accidentally slamming it into a wall at the track.
The shop has committed no foul by doing what the owner of the car wants done. They would be idiots to not do the work if the owner of the car still wants it done.
The number of self righteous people on this board that think they have the right to tell other people what they must do with their car amazes me.
Neither you, me or anyone else has the right to decide what the man does with his car.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

That's some funny stuff right there
The shop is culpable ...

Might as well add my two cents..
Bottom line is its his car and he can and do what he wants with it..
However,
There have been some good points opposing that idea. I as well as some others feel the car should have been left alone and money spent elsewhere to achieve what the owner wants out of owning a Mopar.
It is far more than "just a car".. 40 years ago, sure, not now. It is part of a history that is quickly going away and fewer and fewer real examples are left, especially this rare.
But, the bottom line its his car to do what he wants to make him happy..
Oh, did I tell you my family tree goes back to the civil war and we have personal written letters from Gen Lee to the soldiers of the war. However, it was really cold last night up here in the east and we needed some paper to start up the fireplace.. needless to say the letters are all gone.. but what the heck, they were just old pieces of paper.. and by the way 15th century furniture wood really burns for a long time.. So long I had to smother the fire out with an old native American blanket that my old dog use to have before I could go to bed.

Good point.
While I'd never do it, the owner can do what he wants with his car. Hack away! There is no law against making unwise choices with your own property.

In the grand scheme of life it's still just a car, just like an antique wood chair or old papers are just something to burn if you don't want to freeze to death.
In life people do what ever they choose to or need too as long as their not breaking the law or hurting another person there's not much anyone can or should do.
It's a 1 of 2 built because no one wanted that combination back in 1967. Because no one ordered many that way means that the owner for 43 years loses his right to do what he wants with the car?

I think it's 1 of 2 because Chrysler stopped offering the Hemi in that model but a couple got out the door somehow?

Sure there is, just try an burn down your own house!

BUT , if you OWN the house outright AND you are not trying to collect on insurance you could burn your house down to your hearts content, though the greennazi's might take issue with you adding to global warming
