Actually, what I think is pretty cool
are those shops that take those old cars and actually fit them with modern brakes, a non-suicidal steering set-up, rebuild the engines with fuel injection and balanced components so they have the same displacement but rev to 7/8k, with a supercharger to boot. You end up with something that has the look and feel of the old steel beasts, but with engines and numbers that stack up to even the hand-build ferraris.
And, sure- yeah, its modified... But thats what the american muscle car was always about (and the euros never get that when they talk about them). It was never about what it was when it rolled off the factory line, it was what you could do with it.
