The plans have not been lost, discarded, or destroyed. They're available on microfilm at the Marshall Space Flight Center. The problems with re-building the Saturn V are mostly technological in nature. It would be akin to asking today's Ford to build a 1969 Pontiac Trans Am, exactly to spec, with no deviations. Could they do it? Sure. Would they have to completely retool their manufacturing process? Absolutely. Our technology base has moved so far past the late sixties that it's no longer practicable to build designs from the sixties. Better to design a modern Trans Am.
