I'll buy that, but I'd like to hear from actual owners of 67-8 dealer converted cars. Again, is there a way to determine if "The" motor is in your car.

OK you guys.......fess-up!

It seems to me that the value of a dealer conversion car is dependant on its paperwork and/or verifiable history verifying it as such. A dealer conversion with a correct replacement engine (not the engine put in by the dealer/conversion shop), or no engine at all, is still worth a pile of money if it can be verified. A '67 Nickey 427 Camaro with all the right original paperwork but with a '69 427 engine is still extremely valuable because it can be verified as an original Nickey 427 conversion.
