Tom, It all gets back to paper work. If it's not dealer installed. Harrell or who ever. If the motor was put in 15 years ago by the owner doesn't mean much to me. A car that was sold new with a 427 vs a car transplanted by the dealer is not the same Value IMO. Yes, there is a lot of black & white on this subject. We all have our own opinions on these cars. I think it boils down to what ever you like. That's enough ramblin from me.
