RE: IML: matching numbers

[<50scars@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   I think matching numbers has little meaning unless you have some super
muscle car that is not all that hard to clone from a lesser car by the
judicious addition of engine, transmission and a few trim items.  For
instance if you can take a mundane Plymouth and make a Roadrunner out
of it, you double its value.  Or a Dodge Super Bee.  Or a Chrysler 300
Letter car.
    About the only way to make an Imperial really super valuable is to
make it a convertible instead of a 4 door sedan.
    Matching numbers on a muscle car means that it was never used as it
was intended, and that nobody took an elstrippo Belvidere and made it
into a Roadrunner.
    On an Imperial, as long as it has the correct block, it probably means
that someone bought a rebuilt motor for it.  face it, if you find a 4
speed in an Imperial, it AIN'T RIGHT!!!
