Message	"natural" versus "swap" is starting to lose significance. The history of the car and the quality of the owner plays a much bigger part in the quality/value of an 18 year old car IMO. A lot of swaps are a lot cleaner under the hood and better maintained than stockers these days. "most" of them will have important maintenance (like replacement of all rubber parts, new harness, etc) done while the engine is out. A bit of knowledge and a peak under the hood can tell you alot about the quality of the swap (or the original engine bay for that matter). And since there is no correlation between engine and chassis numbers on our cars, you really have know way of knowing how "natural" a natural TT actually is these days.
