In my mind, it depends on the condition of the cars. However, if we are talking about pristine restored cars to a high standard capable of NCRS Top flight or Bloomington Gold status, then I would say that the 340HP car could range between $80-90K while the 360HP car could garner from $120-140K. Now if the 360HP was part of the Z06 package, then you'd be talking in excess of $200K.

Let's step down a notch.
What would you say is the difference in value between two otherwise equal "Driver Quality" SWC's?
I know I am just looking for opinions.
Thanks

All things being equal, I would expect the fuelie to add $15,000 to $20,000 over the non-fuelie. (Provided it can be proven to be original)

BOTH cars as equal as possible in every way, whether Top Flight, or just an extremely nice driver---------------------------AND THIS INCLUDES THE FI WORKING AS IT SHOULD--------------------you may be looking at $10-30K more for the FI car.
Also, I'm talking about a GENUINE FI car, not a built FI car. Admitedly, an owner built FI car can be as nice as an original factory built FI car. But in the minds of many, an owner built FI car just does not carry the same value as a factory FI car.

At a swap meet, or from a known FI rebuilder, a COMPLETE FI setup, which includes a correct FI unit, correct dist, complete air cleaner and related parts and the FI radiator support will bring $10K+, EASY! So, you should expect to pay $10K+ for a car with all those correct parts on it---------------------------AND NO BUBBAIZING!
