Remember! Your question concerned the value of something original as opposed to the value of something modified.
There's a Duesenberg advertised in Hemmings for $1,250,000.00. Part of its value is being a complete and wholly original car as certified by ACD. Its frame, engine, and driveline are all strong enough that it could be modified for use as a junk yard boom truck.
No, it doesn't take intelligence to leave something original - when there's this kind of money involved. Yes, it does take intelligence to apply this same situation to smaller dollar amounts.
No, the monkey has the skill to modify it to do a specific task. Buy several Power Wagons and you will see where the monkey has been.
