I agree with you 100%, but good luck over on that board. I got into it with "V8only" over there after he posted about buying a 1982 no-option, 106K original-mile coupe, and he then proceeded to post pics of he and his brother hacking up the car (read: pulling the original, unmolested motor/tranny and swapping in who-knows-what, while "giving" the original engine away).
Here is a link to the last thread, with a final footnote there from one of the Admins.
