NOT a very good sign for the value of mopar muscle cars
Yup, it's happening. When I worked with Matt, we did two 62 Corvettes. One 300HP 327 4 speed and one 340HP 4 speed. Both numbers cars. Matt twisted both customers' arms into a full blown resto mod restore. Mustang II fronts, IFS rears, LS motors with OD transmissions....the works. Both cars had the complete numbers drivetrains and both ran.....though the 340HP car had been in a garage fire, it still ran and had really no bad damage. I didn't like doing those cars like that. Matt even convinced both of them that they didn't need to keep any of the original parts off the cars.
But, that's the direction everything is going.
