[ QUOTE ] I'd be more concerned about documentation than having the original engine. Documentation is a must in my book. Patrick [/ QUOTE ] Sorry, but that doesn't make much sense to me?? Please elaborate?? What are you documenting if the original engine is gone? Paperwork on something that isn't there [/ QUOTE ] I'll try. An example would be a 70 or 71 Hemi-cuda convertible selling for $1,000,000 up to the $3,000,000. Some of these cars are in the Chrysler Registry as not having their original engines. Not to surprising. However, with the support of original build sheets and fender tags, its obvious how these cars left the factory. Maybe this is a bad example because the "R" in the vin also tells part of the story. I don't believe its as easy with some of the GM cars. I'll take a "Real" Yenko Camaro with paperwork, dealer invoice or some other proof of being a real Yenko. A replacement engine would not bother me that much. I'll pass on the car that can't prove its pedigree. Patrick |
