Re: Single vs. Double; Original vs. CE Block
All these great minds and nothing to say?
Maybe the way the questions were posed was the problem! I asked for your opinions using dollar amounts to quantify your response and keep away from other non specific adjectives.
I know this is a touchy subject because there's a lot of copo owners on this site. So if you respond, keep that in mind.
I'll give you my opinion from where I'm standing TODAY!
Hope you give me yours, or I'll be forced to answer my own post. Nothing learned there!
I don't know what the top dollar I'd pay for the car is. With that said here it goes.
To me the Yenko name is a premium and is much better known than any other Dealer or even "copo". The casual car guy knows its special, he may not know what for, but he is aware it's unique. So around a 50K premium is what I'd pay for Yenko prep and documentation for otherwise 2 equal cars.
CE block with warranty documentation- 40-60K deduction. This could be even greater depending on the number of cars with original block.
CE block with no documentation- 100K deduction. Could be from any car or model
Bare Stamp pad but correct casting#- This is tough. What you got here is a car that was once a copo and that's it IMO. I'd rather have a documented SS/RS L78 car. 150K+ deduction.
Automatic Transmission- Remenber this is my opinion and I wouldn't buy an A/T copo car. 50K deduction. You may see it differently.
Correct Trans but missing correct VIN-25K deduction
Rear End type correct but date code wrong - 10-15K deduction
I know there's a thousand combinations and there are also pluses for desireable options and colors. I just used the assumption that all other components were correct. This is simialr to the way the N.A.D.A. book does it.
Now I've been brave and walked to the top of the hill for all to shoot at. Now lets hear from you!
That wasn't so hard. Maybe its because I don't even own a copo!
