4 speed conversion. Help or hurt value of car?

Has anyone ever come up to you at a gas station and said with an excited look on their face "hey is that an auto on the column?!"

Yeah me either. :D

Non numbers matching is non numbers matching. Doesn't matter now, it doesn't match. No, it won't get prices like an original 4 speed, but if the conversion isn't a total hatchet job it'll be worth more. Maybe not enough more to pay for the swap, but who cares. It's more fun. Real hot rods have 3 pedals.
