It will add a certain percentage having a 375 horse Chevelle but the conditions of the two cars being compared are at nearly opposite ends of the spectrum. You are comparing the base 396 car which is fully driveable to a 375 horse car needing a lot of work just to get it road worthy let alone visually appealing. I like the 375 horse car but there are many, many parts (quite a few $pecific to the L78) to be collected, repairs to body to be made, shipping the car home, finding a correct and rare transmission, entirely new interior, paint, glass, trim etc. Lack of documentation and owner history do not help. Current market is way down vs. pre-'08 and after restoration even if you did alot of the work yourself, you will be upside down. IMHO, market for this car is $8 to 10K. This car will have to be a labor of love with plans to hang on to it for the long haul.
