Interesting. You may be part of a group of people that are honest, but generally it's a mine field out there when one is looking at classic or classic muscle cars. As you have posted, a real 1970 Chevelle SS 454 is worth a ton of money at this time. Now, lots of people are taking old Chevelles - especially 396's, adding the 454 engine and other stuff - probably ending up - in some cases - with something faster and better than the original, but it's the original that has the market value and all the others one has to simply worry about when in the buying mode.

It's to bad that there is not a way or an entity that can certify altered cars - assess the work done, driveability, etc. as lots of people seem to think they know what they are doing but few people actually know. You just may be one of those people in the know.
