restorer,

The value of the Yenko, Motion, Dana, Nickey cars is derived from them being modified but sold as NEW cars through the dealership. A used car brought in for an engine swap is not perceived by the market to be nearly as valuable. I don't think $50,000 for the BM Chevelle is out of line. With a $30,000 resto the owner will have invested $80,000 for a car with 3 or so existing. '69 restored BM camaros and Yenkos bring those kind of dollars or more. I hope the new owner restores the car and shows it occasionally. Would be a shame if it's locked away in a collection never to be seen. Sounds like a candidate for next year's Supercar Reunion!
