I bought my '69 about 12 yrs ago. The original engine wouldn't turn so my mechanic pulled it and we installed a '67 w/Webers. Chassis and transmission are original. Stripped off several layers of paint, did some extensive body work, a few suspension and brake tweaks, and now have a pretty nice car.
With the rise of prices over the past couple of years, I've been thinking about getting the original engine (serial #619696) back into the car. Mechanic still has the engine, says it'd be a pain in the ass to rebuild (i.e. $$$). But wouldn't I probably break even selling the '67 engine and, with the '69 engine in the car, recover more $?
Would appreciate any input and feedback, please.
