I would have to agree with the overall value on mine but, the high retail value is very unlikely. Somewhere in between average and high seems realistic. I don't agree with a 10% increase for an original 4 speed car though....20% to 25% is more accurate.

Adding the engine option on top of the value that already has it included will really throw off your final value. That value is already figured into the base R/T price according to the side note. I don't quite agree with adding 30% for a 440 engine when it was never offered in anything except the R/T so the program must make some consideration for engine transplants.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Like so many issues with values in the old car hobby, I think we have a certain amount of denial at work. 

A lot of the official sources for values of these cars would rather tell people what the car "should be" worth than the amount that it actually trades for most of the time.  They often take years to acknowledge siesmic shifts in the hobby. 


The great example is the high-quality clones of factory Hemi cars: 
Lately these clones are selling for a lot more than just the combined price of the base model car and the Hemi crate motor in it.  But there are a lot of sources still insisting that only factory muscle cars are worth anything more than the base models.
