I never said his car would be worthless because of it's NOM, but it is a let down that I think will have an effect on value. I think possibly a larger effect than your typical garden variety 69-71 6 pack car because this one is so rare and such a limited production. It still should command a premium over a comparable 71, however if it was so rare and one of the ones that managed to keep it's original engine, IMO that would really push it to the top of the heap.
