"The nicely detailed numbers-matching engine...

Wondering how a Camaro VIN ends up on a JD code Chevelle L78 engine.

So is Hendrick just a dealer? Or are they restoring cars?

I would like to think Hendrick would know enough to install both spoilers.

Hendrick has many businesses there in the NC area, including several new car dealerships, and of course his racing business(es).   He also owns (or at least they use his name) on a classic car business (buying/selling used muscle cars).  I've seen many cars for sale under his name which ... would embarrass most of us if it were our name on it.   I went there with a friend to buy a '65 Corvette a couple of years ago; the '65 wasn't what it was represented as, but we did end up purchasing a nicer '67 Corvette (for more $$).   We did not deal with Rick himself; in fact, i doubt he has very much to do with that aspect of the business, but he has some mechanics and service people who address problems with his sold cars, and sales people who likely do all the buying/selling.   The BEST part of that visit was in getting a tour of his personal collection...  If you get an opportunity to do that, you should definitely do it... many Z28's, and every color of '67 BB Corvette produced!
