Amen Mark. Agree completely.
ONE slight variation in my opinion - and only that - is that if tasteful, reversible 'reliability' mods (Tires, cooling, window gears, ignition switch, etc) are done, I'd say the value is mostly unaffected.
If the original parts are kept, probably bumps value a bit. Of course, that's up to the buyer/bidder on that day.
