Everybody wants numbers matching cars. The most important thing to me is when I go out a take a first look at my car do I like it. Color, quality of car, what car it is etc. Numbers to me are after you get through all that.

I feel original to the car is worth more and makes you feel better, but how much? I would rather have a perfect body and high class resto than all matching on a #2-3 car. 90% of the cars that I see are non-numbers cars. Lets junk them?? Where I live you can't buy anything that I would want for less than 25-30 thousand, and those cars are weak. JMO Sam

I completely understand what you're saying. It also depends on if it's a potential resale later down the road and how easy it might be to get your money back out of it. My personal opinion is, I plan to keep it until I die anyway, so it doesn't matter a lot.

However, I also wanted to have an original engine if I was going to pay the prices people are asking. But, some cars are just worth it anyway and are still a good deal. Certainly, matching #'s aren't the only thing you want to look for, but it will always help the value. If no one else cared, I wouldn't.

But I'd hate to pay too much for a car and maybe be unfortunate enough to need the money one day and try and sell a non matching numbers car for more than people will pay. All in all, I am picky on purpose, what with the price of the cars now-a-days.
