Hey all,
Just wondering how important a numbers matching car is vs. a non-matching car. Like how important would it be for a 914-6? If the engine doesn't match, but it's otherwise the correct engine, would it be valued the same or would you expect a discount as a buyer? How much of a premium or discount? Is there a difference in value between a car with a numbers matching 1.8L engine, or a car that's supposed to have a 1.8L, but someone has swapped in a 2.0L? All things being equal, which car is more desirable? Thanks, |

Unfortunately many original six blocks ended up in dumpsters due to major failures to the magnesium case. Mine took a big bang during hard racing back in the 80's. I am sure it is probably deep under ground in a land fill somewhere in northern California. It would have been nice to have the matching number case half as a memento though.
