Mosport I understand your line of thinking but I vehemently oppose it:

"I think the cars with non-original drivetrains (motor, trans, rears) should be called mechanical rebodies."

This is not a realistic or a responsible stance to take given how abused musclecars were back in the day and - especially when we are talking about GM vehicles - how light-weight some of the supporting elements of the drivelines were (transmissions, rearends). Re-body is a dirty, dirty word in this day and age and to attach it to this Deuce or any other car that needs a complete driveline replacement is wrong, wrong, wrong. They are just number stampings that do affect the value of the car but not its place in a bigger scheme of things. Let's be responsible here. Others are watching this thread and I would hate for someone to pass over a real Yenko Nova because they feel like it wouldn't be an "accepted" car once restored. It is our job to preserve and support this car and others as pieces of the cultural property of the Yenko legend. Not put it up on a dart board and throw the nastiest word we can think of - re-body - at it. Too far.

Sorry if I sound like I am high-horsing but that's my 2 cents. This is a great car for someone.
