<VV> Was 1965 Monza; Now Old Car Price Guide

Hi JR,
 
I was going to get into that as well as other points but my  original post 
was getting kind of long.
 
I agree that the 140 is a higher valued engine but it isn't  the original 
engine to the car.  It was a 110, as I recall.   Opinions vary as to what the 
value of "as built" is but I would consider this to  be a "wash."  Better 
engine vs. original engine.  I suspect the 20%  figure stated in OCPG has to 
do with original engines.
 
Of course, the value of a numbers matching, all  original car varies with 
the make and model.  Whatever the HP, having the original engine in my 1960 
Corvette adds  huge value to the car but this is less the case with Corvairs. 
 We each  need to determine the value of originality for ourselves.  
Believe it or  not, some people take a perfectly good original small block out of 
a mid 60's  Vette and drop in a big block.  Don't get me started.

Hi Doc,
 
I'll speak to some of the other points when I have more  time.
 
For the moment, I'd just like to clarify one thing.  On  the OCPG listing - 
it is for the car in question - $7430 PLUS 20% or just  under $9,000 as the 
suggested retail value.
