That car is a good investment with or without the original engine.
What can you buy it for, will it ever be worth less?

If you listen to the "experts" you won't buy the car and in a few years you will post here again talking about the same car and what you could have bought it for in 2004.

If you can't immediately take it to the auction and turn a profit it does not mean you paid too much.
It just means you took it to the wrong auction, and too soon.
