Jeff...I guess you just don't get it....would you pay more for a painting by Monet or a very nice landscape by Belair62 ?

I get the point, but I'm saying there is no reason that 2 identical performing vehicles should be priced differently and I think the market will make the correction once people start buying these other dealer transplant cars. If you stuck an L72 into a Camaro and Monet stuck an L72 into a Camaro they would both be the same thing and perform the same. A name doesn't mean it's a better product, it just means it's more recognized and therefore people overpay for it.
And Kim, I was referring to the COPO car with engine's that you supposedly couldn't order. The 68 COPOs were not engine upgrades so they aren't as special to most people as 427 COPO cars. But it all comes down to apparent value on most of these cars. If nobody hypes any of them, then they won't go up in value or cost. I'm just offering my point of view. I personally don't think there is anything that special about Motion cars other than he dropped in a 427 and put on some speed parts. The COPO 427 cars and the Nova LT1 cars are the coolest factory built supercars to me. But sign me up for one of those Belair landscapes, you never know what might happen if one of them showed up in a special place(like the Whitehouse) and the values got hyped up!
