While the apparent tone and maybe the wording of the inital question was not best the actual question is extremely relevant. If one figures that it doesn't matter then the pricing for a supposed "original" motored car and a non-original car would be the exact same. Any onwer of any collectible car, especially a hi-po car, will tell you there is a difference. Hell, carry it one step further and say then that since original motors don't matter then un-restored and restored cars are worth the same, since it is still a Yenko....or that a car with 100 original miles and one with 100,000 miles are worth the same...get the point. The question and resulting answers have more do to with individual owners maybe feeling "slighted," because there is a difference in the way the cars are perceived within the hobby (ie: an original motored car is always more desrirable than the same car without its original motor).
