You have obviously owned the car for a long time so I think it wouldn't be wise to invest money in it in hopes of increasing it's value. Plus, I'm not sure the webers might not be more desirable anyway. I would just concentrate on getting it back to 100% as it sits - it is a great looking car. With a stock 427 SO there isn't much use in wringing the last ounce of power out of it you can - it's never going to compete with 527 aluminum block, worked over aluminum head monster of 650 HP in terms of max performance pecking order. So unless you are wanting to make a $30,000 investment in an entirely new engine - fix and maintain that classic beauty you have in it now. My 1-1/2 cents worth.
