Ray, I couldn't agree more. My thoughts have always been a car with a warranty is what I would consider a car "as purchased". Anything added later on is a much different animal than what you bought off the dealer's lot new. That being the case, I've heard of a 69 Camaro SS bought from Reedman Chevrolet in Langhorne PA with a 454 in it swapped by the dealer and sold new with the 454. The car is still owned by the original owner last I heard. Makes a COPO 427 seem tame!
