Is your G-body "Old School" or "Restomod"?

Iron square ports, 12.5 to 1, small by today's standards solid roller cam, Holley Strip Dominator Tall, 4500 foot brake converter, reverse manual TH400, 4.10 spool....950 e85 green Quick Fuel carb (take that carbon foot print!)
Drive the crap out of it. Wound up pretty good right now with the 28x9 slicks, had 29.5x10.5 went I geared it...now those are considered 'big' tire or class of races.
It currently drinks e85 that was $1.59 a gallon yesterday...it's really only about e70 here from the pump.
Runs about 180° F in the current warm weather.
Not cool to try an order while it's idling in the drive thru....
It's loud, obnoxious, fast, and a handful to drive. Flat black (mostly) with a mismatched cowl hood. I love it's imperfection. Function over form on this one.
I am stacking a pump gas, serpentine belt, a/c having big block Malibu as well...

I wouldn't know how to vote....upgraded some suspension with new stock type parts (nothing fancy, heavier Moog springs,etc.), C5 wheels with appropriate tires (still not on road yet so those may go by the wayside for something else due to using spacers. If I ever get the custom rear I may keep them), Old School 1966 Olds 330 with Carb, but I Have a FiTech unit to install. That would happen after I figure out what is wrong with the 200-4R. Interior is in boxes in garage and would consist of Summit seats, harnesses, Stock type carpet with new heat and sound insulation. Brakes would be new Summit calipers, pads and rotors. Nothing fancy.
Like I said, I don't know what I'd vote.

I'd say for you're setup, most likely old school since there isn't a "middle ground" option due to the upgrades you've listed such as the efi on the olds motor.
Just my .02
I think all of us g-body guys (and girls) are just true hot rodders mixing and matching old and new to make our application do what we want it to do how we want
Mine is old school small block,4-speed,benchseat,8-track ,and steel wheels with dog-dish caps
Total restomod here. My car was the best I could do with high school money, now some years later it has a 6.2l ls, umi catalog thrown at it, ls1 camaro brakes...
It was old school way back but now I want to be able to hang with the modern muscle.

... lets see that 6.2L tucked in there!
I think its restomod and a bit !
1979 MC with a 305 running on LPG, its getting a th200r4 and rebuild rear axle (3.42)
Its rusted as it can be, and is currently in the process of being rustorated.
Made some alterations on the door as the bottom nearly fell out.
Doing all the work myself, and slowly its becoming a car again.
Custom door handle that works
And this is how it turned out
