Good Morning All

I am looking at a 1969 El Camino that has had the engine replaced with what maybe a bone yard motor.

The stamping numbers (TBG) translate to a 402 truck engine with 310 HP.

What does this do to the value? If I brought it, would the vehicle be worth more if the correct vintage motor out of a El Camino or Chevelle was installed.

They are asking @17,995. It is at www.inventory.summersclassiccars.com/moredetails.html?87703389

Thanks

The value goes down a bit, but if you dont care about numbers matching then its fine. Just buy a car and enjoy it. I think that is far too high of a price though. They are not valued as high as chevelles. Look on ebay, you might find a better price.

I would say its priced about 5k to high myself.
