Default To keep or not to keep

I just took the factory original Muncie 3 speed manual transmission out of my wifes 67 camaro and replaced it with a 4 speed Muncie. The car came with a 327, 210 horse engine and we did some updates that moved the horsepower up to about 300. The 3 speed just didn't feel right, therefore the change. The 3 speed is in excellent working condition and has all the original linkage, shifter, etc. So here are my questions.
1. Do I keep the 3 speed transmission with the car even though we will never re-install it in order to enhance the value of the car if we ever sell it?
2. If I sell the 3 speed, what is a ball park figure for its value?
Thanks for your input.

It's worth between $300-400 bux. Since you say factory original, you did verify that it is indeed a matching numbers (partial VIN) to the car?
If it isn't, then go ahead and sell it, as it makes no difference which non-numbers matching Muncie you have.
