Dick:
You raise an interesting point. While I am quite sure I would not pay
extra for a 5 speed conversion, that does not mean that the average person
might not. Hmmm. The issue for me is originality and concerns about the
quality control exercised while doing the conversion. For example, I would not
pay more for a TR6 with a Vortec V6 conversion. I would be concerned about
reliability, and highly original cars always go for more in Hemmings and other
publications.
Any ideas how we might get an impartial judge on that one?
I could ask my LBC mechanic, who also sells used LBCs. Would that
suffice?
Would the question "Which sells for more; A TR6 with an aftermarket 5
speed conversion or a TR6 with an overdrive, all other things being equal" be
fair?

Hmmm. Is there must be another "Vance" out there who modified his engine with
higher CR, and a performance camshaft?
Maybe an aftermarket ignition trigger?

Who doubts those who suggest that adding a 5 speed does nothing to add value
to a TR Six
