I think completely changing what makes these cars desirable in the first place takes away from why they where sought after to begin with.
Adding slight details to clean up things or better fit and finish I get, but not completely reinventing the car.
If a modern car "look" is what your after Id buy a new car. If you want the drive ability of a new car hidden under the hood,body,etc I get completely.
I think "the new face of muscle cars" is what's "cool" now but won't grab much positive attention 10 years from now.
How many people do you still see wearing fanny packs now a days?

those where cool right?
