The difference is that an engine has an intrinsic value to not only the car it belonged to, but to other cars as well. A POP is of value only to the car it belonged to originally.

If the present holder of the POP can't get Ronnie to buy it, there isn't really a market for it. No one out there is going to pay anywhere near that asking price for it.

I understand your point Steve, but,my point was that the protectoplate definitely has some value....

Although this is not the case with this car, I think that maybe the protecto-plate is very valuable to a car since a COPO with a non-original correct motor is worth more than a COPO with no motor...

and a COPO with a non-original protectoplate is worth no more than a COPO with no protecto-plate. This is the only protecto-plate in the world that is correct for this car. Many cars have changed hands for top dollar that have correct non-original motors. And it seems that the cars that bring all the money are the original cars <span style="font-weight: bold">with documentation</span>.

Did I just confuse everyone with this explanation??

I also agree if the fellow promised him the protecto-plate for his car back in the day, he should give it up free.
