The previous seasons, Chip and the A team was all about keeping things original if they could. In both of these cases they were already "ruined" and not original. So why not just go all out?

It was nice to see the show again though. I do kind of miss the pranks and how they take the vehicles. I'll try and watch a few more though.
They never had V6 engines in a 67 Camaro, it was a straight 6. And I doubt you watched many of the original series because they did radical things to many of the cars back then. Including making a 2 door out of a 4 door, making a convertible out of a hardtop with no top to put on it. There were only a couple that I recall that they kept close to stock. So in my opinion the cars they are doing now are less radical than in earlier seasons.
