Why not just put them up on display as they are? Or store them somewhere?

I think it boils down to what is left of the original. I agree that it does become a replica but a lot of what we see today has had a majority of the parts replaced or made. It is the nature of the beast. By and large, it's all about $$$$$$ in the end.
As they say in the classic car arena...."It is only original once."
