I think you summed up your position perfectly here. Of course not everyone see's things that way.
For example, the 455 currently in my 67 GTO was one I bought simply because of its casting date. (It happened to be cast the same day I was born) As a result, this particular 455 will always hold more importance to me than any of my other 455's, simply because of its casting date. Obviously it is 100% functionally identical to thousands of other 455's, but that date makes it special to me.
I believe this will be the reason someone will value this car. Being the last of a generation holds value. Heretofore, no one knew this car held that distinction. As a result, it has special intrinsic value. To someone...
And yes, this 71 is super cool!
