Keeping it original is the key to big money for classic cars. Since motor is replaced with not original it will never be original and not worth the big money regardless of how many they made of them. A good average price of any 72 in very good condition without original motor and again depending on the paint and mechanical shape and depending on not being rusty. 5k to $7500 is about normal. Now if it is in exceptional shape and very low mileage with what you have told me you might find someone to give you a bit more but not over 8 or 9k for sure.

if it is all original it is worth more to a collector if it has been modified then the value drops , if you just want to sell it then best price gets it. LT-1 engine is desirable but big blocks (396- 427-454) bring more money . If you are selling ask what between the going price and what you expect , who knows what you will get, but remember one with the most money gets the prize

Dude your best bet is to find a correct date coded lt1 motor and keep the car as stock as possible... if you're going.tokeep it then put whatever motor and trans you want into it... but get period correct motor and.trans and hide them away til u wanna sell the car... as for the guy talking.big blocks being.worth more.. they were done putting big.blocks In these around 70 71... the best thing your car has going for.it.. last year with real bumpers on.both.ends.. a/ c and the lt1 ... but he is right about pricing .the way it is.. id think 12 to 15 k would be close... now if.it.was me.. Ls2 tremec 6 speed resto- mod... turn it into a street beast that likes the.freewayas well .. go off on it.. resto-mod... its worth 25 to 35k depending how good you build it
