Nope. Other way around. It’s part of how we got here. They reached the point where a ton of them needed engine rebuilds. Suddenly all these $10-15K SCs needed $10-15K in engine work. That made nice low mileage ones that didn’t need it or nice higher mileage ones that had already had it worth more. It’s a cycle.

I remember 15 years ago when people thought you were out of your mind if you spent $10K rebuilding a 356 engine. It’s part of why so many aren’t numbers matching andhave 912 engines in them. But the guys who built them and restored them and spent $40-50K over ten years of ownership eventually came even and are now ahead.
