Hi d,
Yes, cars with all/most original parts in good condition are VERY rare and generate a tremendous amount of interest when displayed.
Here are just a couple of pictures of a very low (300) mileage 72 that's as original and un-touched as any car I've seen.
Regards,
Alan

Any decent machine shop can sleeve a cylinder and it is very common and is very cost effective..
Sleeveing has been around for decades and for many many reasons most being for repair and for performance. Sleeving helps increase gain cylinder wall integrity especially in aluminum blocks. Smokey Yunick swore by them for instance, as did NASCAR and Top Fuel Dragsters. Most HD diesel engines come standard from the factory with sleeve cylinder bores.
