Motor swaps - is this car ruined? (It's not a Z)

There's a conversation going on about modifying old Z cars.  Made me think of this Gas Monkey Garage car that got hacked up, probably because the show is running out of ideas (Tequila and a hamburger anyone?).

Sorry, there's an ad to suffer through first - 

Take a collectible classic and cut it up so bad that it can never be restored.  Also just saw an article about putting batteries in old cars.  They'll probably do that next.  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt.
