Trannies have always seemed like a component part: easy come, easy go...
Yes to the tranny numbers, and even the rear end should match on a collectors car. But I would have to agree the odds a v6 becoming a collectors car 30 years from now is just not reality. The more limited of a run like the ZL1 or 1LE has a much better chance.
As far as selling after the repair, I just don't see the logic, the emotion yes, but not the logic. You'll only loose money on your end. My two cents. Let them fix it, make sure it's right and enjoy it!
