Engine value
 
:)I have a 1967 s engine and I would like to have some idea of their value ,I have seen $ 9800.00 which seems low since the cars are now above 80K .Any thoughts? Thanks, Mike

Post the engine number maybe someone can reunite with the original chassis. Early S registry has a lost and found thread maybe post it there and see if you get any bites. I have seen prices from 9K to 17k depends on the motor and the buyer. I am personally looking for the original motor for my 67s Targa.
Good luck.

I sold my wrong year one for $7500 and bought correct year one for $6k. They are only worth big money if completing a matching car.

Value
 
IMHO, key part of value is also whether you're talking about a core/unknown motor that buyer has to assume the worst on and total rebuild vs. rebuilt and documented by quality shop (or something in between). With a core its what's the premium someone's willing to pay for a "S" stamped case (pre-injected) versus standard, with rebuilt its that plus rebuild cost/value.

Also factor in whether motor is complete w/carbs, oil cooler, tin, heat exchangers, flywheel, distrib, etc. vs. longblock that can add/subtact a couple $K. As an example, paying $9800 for a complete motor then spending $12K to rebuild is an underwater adventure unless it's serial # matches your car. Too many estimates seem to ignore these obvious variables.
