Well, there are exceptions TO a rule, and exceptions which PROVE a rule. I still stand by my 'rule', that a correctly restored-to-OEM specs car is more valuable than that same car, when it would appear obviously to have been 'modified' from its stock condition (on a relative-financial-investment basis). Money invested INTO the modification obviously affects the overall-value of a car, but, those modifications' costs do not tend to increase the car's value (by much, if anything ) ABOVE the cost of those mods: witness the day-after-day financial bloodbath suffered by miscellaneous hot-rodded cars at the Barrett Jackson auction. Not many supercharged custom-painted jacked-up aftermarket Hemi Cudas bring big money, like a dog-dished manual-everything OEM Hemi Cuda would. Why is that?
