1970 Corvette 454 values
 

I am considering a 1970 Corvette BB coupe that does not have the original motor. I was wondering what is the current value of a #2 454 Corvette and, all things being equal, how much does the non-orignal engine hurt the car's value?

1996Z15,

If you're not in to big a hurry, we just bought a 1970 LS-5 coupe here in California, it doesn't have the original engine, however it comes with another 1970 Corvette LS-5 engine that is from a Corvette whose serial # is about 200 numbers higher than this car. Loaded with PS, PB, PW, T/T, AC, 4spd etc. Price will probably be around 15K?

Do you have pictures and additional information? If I decide to go with my original car would you be interested in selling the LS5 out of your new Corvette?

I'm sorry, but I spoke to soon. My partner has informed me (he was the one bringing it home yesterday afternoon) that it is already sold for 12K.
