The bottom line is that a SS isn't a one of a kind car, and as such, it isn't worth a fortune. Not like modding a ZL1 or COPO Camaro. Still, I did limit mods to mostly easy to reverse items in case MY TASTES change in the future and I want to go stock again. Resale be damned.
Wanting to limit cutting was a main reason I went with a g-link rear suspension, it can be removed and leafs put back in and 99.9% of people that look at a camaro, even a resto, won't notice the it or the minitubs
If you don't have tremendous sentimental value in a car, the price differences between modded and stock are a toss up. It gets increasingly hard to get your money out of heavily modded cars, and it is just as hard to get money out of a restoration. The big money isn't going to happen for anything that gets driven regularly, stock or modified.

Your car is super sweet..I agree, no one should modify a COPO ZL-1 or Yenko, but a Z/28 or an SS, man the fun factor is worth it...
It is personal taste and whatever makes a person happy... I am not one to have an all original restored car unless it is a high end Muscle car, L-88, ect...
