| Let's look at the Hemi engine from back in the late 60's/early 70's. What makes those cars so special? Not a whole lot other than the first owners ordered the car that way. Do you know the difference in price between a Hemi Cuda and a non-Hemi Cuda? The only difference was an engine that probably wasn't as powerful as the 440 6-pack, yet it's worth way more than a 440. I can go up and down the board if you want to start talking about what makes old cars valuable. I won't even go there. And just to mention, the ZR-1 Corvette isn't really anything special. The engine wasn't even made by GM. It flopped and they never used it again. And for whatever reason, that car is worth more than a regular Vette of the same year. Go figure! :-) I will be the first person to say that the SMZ can be somewhat duplicated. But so could a Hemi Cuda even now. The originality and the fact it came from the dealer that way is what makes the difference. While that doesn't make it more valuable to you, that wouldn't be the opinion of most. Also, just to point out, I'm agreeing with the fact that an SMZ can be duplicated to a point. But it won't be original. And as we can see from the history of cars, the value is dictated by originality and rarity. That's just fact.
