1971 T w/3.0 Value less or more?
Hello all-
I am contemplating selling my 1971 T. It is a very original, rust free car in Albert Blue with deep 6 Fuches and a 901 5 speed. It also sports a carerra fender oil cooler with all new lines. It is still a stock looking narrow bodied car although the paint has a few flaws. Other then aftermarket seats, the interior is very clean including complete door pockets and near perfect dash.
Here's the thing, it has a 1978 3.0 SC motor in it with CIS. The motor is in very good shape and leaves no oil spots or smoke in it's path. It looks like it was rebuilt recently but I have no way of documenting that fact. With the early exhaust it sure is fast though.
Would the car fetch more if I could install an original 2.2 engine and sell the SC motor on the side? It seems to me that original cars bring the most $$ these days.
