 Do matching numbers really matter?, Does not having matching numbers significantly devalue a car? |

Guys used to think the same thing about Chevelles vs other "classic" cars of earlier eras. good point. I guess as of now numbers don't mean as much, but that can always change. I would say if you have a numbers correct motor, keep it. Maybe run another motor (like a 2.0 instead of the 1.7), but keep the stock one in case you ever sell and tom, I loved that image (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

On an average nice daily driver, it shouldn't matter too much. On a concours car it will effect the value. Seen an instance on a sale where the car was thought to of been an original 2.0, when in fact it was a 1.8. The seller once he found out, was generous to refund the new owner several thousand dollars to make him happy. Accurate documentation of the cars history will add to the value to a collector. Will certianlly be significant as these cars continue to apprectiate in value.
