Numbers matching (motor/transmission)

Finally put my Roadrunner on the lift and found that the engine and transmission are original to the car. It was a pleasant surprise, but not sure if it adds much regarding value. I also think the shocks were original too, what a pain to remove and replace. Slow going.

You bet it add value to the car to have all the original part's. I was not so lucky when buying the car I got. Some one had already swapped motor, trans, and rear end. So the drive train is a runner from what I can tell. But not from this car. I am putting the four speed back in and putting console with bucket's. Want it my way. Good looking runner their. Hope you get many hours of enjoyment out of it. Russ.

matching #s does help the value, how much?

Thanks Russ, can't wait to see your car when it's complete.
