I'm assuming you mean hit as in less money.
Regardless I'm sure it's a great car and glad to see you're enjoying it.

Well if you meant because of the engine Block that’s not how it read to me., you said it would be worth less because it was a race car (nothing about the engine) like it had an affliction. Lol
Then listed a bunch of race cars one with 500 miles that’s worth nothing. Compared to other rare 455 HOs then Stan antlocers , wangers car . Etc .
I remember when this was the narrative that somehow race cars were lessor cars and it annoys me .
Most times a dealer owned race car was a specially built car . Mines no exception . Tom nell was involved in these Stephens cars as with others . There’s an article in Jan 72 where they talk about that .
Here’s a prime example of a specially built race car for a dealer, the 68 RAII Stephens GTO and my car were the same way. Usually you can tell because they will be radio delete and in 68 heater delete .(69 heater delete wasn’t allowed by government mandate for defrosters) But the special prep goes further than that .
If you were talking solely about the engine block that’s a valid point, I personally don’t think it should be that’s why they made SR blocks to replace a RAIV or what ever equivalent engine with what was considered the same. But it didn’t read that way to me .
Il truly can’t stand when I see a beautiful race car backed w back door factory support, campaigned by a dealer restored STOCK and boring. What a waste!
