The first 279 engines built were "S" motors. There are cars before KK1479 with their original engines that have "T" motors. If you have any doubt pull the oil pan. "S" engine rods use a 1/2" bolt and a 12 point nut, "T" engine rod use a 3/8 bolt and nut.

What is the difference in value between an S verses the T code? Better yet what are these car worth? It's unrestored, original owner, 12000 mile car. Pretty much survivor status.

Virgils old car with 54 miles on it is at legendary, it has been for sale at $295. They have sold in that range at auction recently.

The value is in the hard to find parts. Smog, manifolds, air cleaner, S tube, heat shield, fan, dist, carb, pulleys, belts, wires, hoses, exhaust, tires, vent caps, etc. Expect to blow $50 plus on this stuff....if you can find it.

Repo restos start at $200. Between color and S motor you can have a $50 swing in price.

Check your PM
