Maximizing The Value of a Z

I've been thinking along these lines quite a bit being that I'm in the pre-paint stage and trying to decide on colors and all these body items that are available and have come to a few conclusions

These cars have always been a well used canvas and highly modified from the early days and the non modified early cars are going to continue to get harder and harder to find. But how does that translates into "value" is another story. Lots of people myself included like the original type cars that have not been overly modified but things that make them better to drive and enjoy will always have their place and if I want the super original car you can go back original

On one side the really super original cars that are for the concourse and purist type collectors is a really tight market to appeal to.

I wanted something with a v8 in it, why am I messing around with a Z? I'm sure they tear up the road but guess I'm missing something here . . .
