Default Quick Question

Ok, so I am a constant lurker on this site, as I have always wanted to join the ranks of those who own TR's and GN's. This past weekend in my home town though, I came across a GN for sale. My question is if the car is an 85 but has an 87 drivetrain in it, would that increase or decrease the value.
Thanks folks,
Heath

Sounds like mine. IMHO, it's more the pleasure of driving one rather than the value of the car, and dropping in / driving an 86/87 version was far more exciting than driving around with the original 85 setup. As for value, mine probably dropped in value, but I recently sold the 85 engine because I realized I will never go back and wasn't worried about value anymore!

Thanks for the info. I was too slow though. Oh well, I guess I'll wait for my ideal car to come around. 86-87 T-Type Burgandy ext. Grey int. T-top, posi rear. only bolt on mods or mods that can be reversed easily. You know flawless paint and all that, lol. Thanks again.
