so.... im going to convert a 93' original 4 banger auto, into a 8cyl 5 spd... im planning on selling this, as i have too many stang projects, and i figured this was a good way to fund these projects. anyway.... im looking at ebay, and i noticed that everyone makes a big deal in their auction saying that "this is an original v8 car. not a conversion!" and i noticed that mostly stock originals are going for $3-6,000, and nicer, and severely more modded converted cars cant get $5,000.
so whats the deal? why if they are already modded are people wanting an original v8 car? its obviously not about pure... or they wouldnt want a modded car...
it makes no sense to me since a 4 banger with 60,000 miles will probably be more solid then a v8 at 60,000 miles.. they just dont have the abuse, they never made enough power to hurt themselves... ect..
any ideas?
