I agree completely with what George said so eloquently.
I strongly believe that the "investment-grade" Panteras will all be near-stock (minor hidden mods acceptable). Collectors often pay higher prices than car-guys for originality and if you want the money, give those with the most cash what they want.
As is often said "they're only original once".
