There's nothing morally wrong with him modifying his car.
We may not agree with his choice, but it's not for us to tell him what to do with his car.
Last thing I knew people still had the freedom to do what they want with their own property as long as it doesn't endanger others.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

hipocrites !!! it's not ok to cut up a hemi but it is ok to cut up a 318 ?? who made you guys the gods of all things mopar with the power to judge who lives and dies ! custodians of history ?? come on, the guy can do whatever he pleases to the car he owns, the more people he pisses off in the process the more he's succeded in what he's done... would I do it myself...no way, I'd buy an exact donor cut it up and put the tags on it, then i'd run a 427 corvette tripower with a ford 9 inch so I could go to all the shows and piss everyone off... hmmmmm  maybe he's smarter than you all think... doesn't sound like too much modifiaction going on anyway....easy to put back to original if one desired...

I'll 2nd that! Yes, 66-67 hemi cars are on the lower end of collector scales, but we here are talking about a car that was not supposed to have ever been built and that brings it way up the collectable/value scale. Being a 4 speed/Dana car is just frosting on the ubber rare cake!

As human beings with a moral conscience it is only natural for us to try to help others from making mistakes, mostly through lessons that we ourselves have learned over life. Whether it is a small child who is going to touch something hot and get burned or an adult who is smoking we only want to help. That said, the receiver of the the advise may ignore what is said and suffer the consequences. It happens and all we can do is try.
I also agree that it is a shame what is happening to this rare car but all you can do is offer the owner advise. All the things I have read make great since to me, especially the money point, but if the owner decides to cut the car up then what can you do. All you can say is you did try. IMHO.

I bought my little boy a limited production diecast car when he was younger and paid good money for it and when I gave it to him I told him he needed to be very careful with it. It was hard to find but he was the one that saw a photo of it and wanted it. Usually I put them away in a safe place or display them on a shelf too high for him to get to when they are rare or cost more than an average diecast but he wanted it and he only got it with the exception that his next report card was a good one. He made the Honor Roll with all A's and one B so he earned it. Sure enough I came home from work one evening and he was still on the computer with the Photoshop program still making more decals and artwork to decorate his rare diecast car just the way he liked it   At first I was going to go off on him with......well with all of the stupid comments in this thread about how rare and how much it WAS worth and........but when he turned to me with this big smile and said "Hey dad look at how nice my car is now, just the way I wanted it to be" that was worth more than that piece of metal would ever be worth by a million. He didn't burn his fingers, he didn't light up a cigarette, he didn't hurt anyone, he just did what made him happy. I have a bunch of diecast cars just sitting in boxes or on shelves not doing anything but collecting dust, my kid has a diecast car that he still enjoys the heck out of and "It's pretty cool, eh dad?".

People make their own choices, despite our best well-intentioned advice, for many reasons but making themselves happy is probably the best one.

I don't see much WELL-INTENTIONED advice calling the owner a RETARD or an IDIOT or any other of the derogatory ADVICE being given. I think what upsets the holier than thous giving this well intentioned advice is that it's not a hacked up race car that's being treated to a HO HUM BORING CONCOURSE INCORRECT HACKJOB resto. I applaud the guy for doing what he wants to HIS car, before that thread hardly anyone knew the car even existed.
Heck maybe I'll put the Hemi in my 56k original mile, MATCHING number everything, DATE CODE everything, 383, 4 speed, GTS.
