All things being equal (and I know they never really are), would you choose a matching numbers 1.8 or a car where the PO has switched out the 1.8 for a 2.0? Does an engine switch like this devalue the car significantly?

I am curious to know if my LE will drop much in value. It first of all has a salvadge title (which was bulshit as it had minor front fender damage & that is all). It also had the motor changed out to a 73 2.0 instead. I have found a 74 GA engine that is only 19 numbers off my original engine. So I am putting it in instead. At least it will be year specific.
So I will have all the work documented by pics. Do you think that will make up for the salvadge title. Just curious as I do plan to sell the creamsicle when it's finished (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
