I understand Mecum and probably others too will begin accepting BitCoin as a payment method. That should create some interesting sale prices too

I wonder what it would have sold for if the previous owner had done an LS swap?

They make a lot of hay about a 'correct W-27 cover,' but don't say whether it actually has a W-27 rear.
