But this is not a normal car. It has the potential to become a collector's car in the future, in which a matching numbers engine would be worth money.

Potential future loss in value is not something that can be quantified, however, so it would be difficult to get them to agree to it. Even so, I would have that in the back of my mind throughout any negotiations and would still be pushing for some other solution.

And if they did do an engine swap, I would try to keep the original engine as well so that it could stay with the car and be rebuilt and reinstalled in the future should the matching numbers ever become an issue.

this has been discussed many times, that potential is extremely low unless you have a special edition
