In it's day it was not a "rare" car.

The problem is most people saw a great camaro with the inliner in it & halued it out to drop in a V8. :sad: (not that there is anything wrong with that).

I on the other hand, I would rather build up a 6 cyl car to make all the Copo clone builders crazy! :thumbsup:

So, by today's standards, yup, it probably is rare, but the appraised value will never reflect it.

If I can across a 6cyl in a Camaro, I'd leave it in. As mentioned, they are becoming rare since many have pulled them out to drop a v8 in. The 6 cyl cars are gaining in value. I appreciate seeing them at car shows and some of the engine compartments look nicer.

My car was born a straight six car with a three on the tree. But lets not kid ourselves here, rare in this day and age maybe, but desirable? Maybe to a choice few and never for original big block dollars. These are the perfect cars to modify without losing the value. Make it your way and you will probably retain or exceed the value of an original 6 banger 3 on the tree. These are the cars that make great street machines without having to worry about true value. I still have the motor and will be swapping out the tranny this year and have no fear that if it ever crosses the auction blocks that someone will be yearning for the 6 banger and 3speed.
