All you have to do is look at what the Restomod crowd does to these vehicles to answer your questions. While I am not really a fan of it I can respect the time, money and ingenuity that goes into building one.
For me part of the charm of owning a midyear is just enjoying them as the factory built them. They were ahead of their time compared to most other cars in their day.
If I didn’t think and feel the way I do about them I would have just dropped an LS into my 1965 rather then spending all the time and money building a 383 that looks like a stock 350/365 factory engine.
