Notice I did say ALL the correct parts and done correctly. I know most would not agree with this but what is the difference from a car that left the factory with this option and one that has all the correct parts and done correctly ? Really, other then a piece of paper and the price, what would be the difference ? I`ll tell you. Nothing.
While I agree with your logic (the same can be said for engine swaps like Yenko cars), the marketplace disagrees. There is obviously a premium paid for factory original cars with proper documentation. Anything else is a very slippery slope.
