I think a fresh one off custom car will bring good money if it is marketed and sold when it is brand new. Not after it has been exposed, in mags etc. I think the 69 Camaro is a timeless design that stands on it's own regardless of what the latest trend is. I like to stay closer to stock looking. If you build the latest trend you will probably be out of style about the time you want to sell it.
I'm with this guy. Smart folks can spot a full-on, comprehensive build with a custom front clip, link rear suspension, great brakes, etc. A solid number of buyers are willing to pay good money in order to sidestep the build hassles.

And the folks at Barrett-Jackson, for example, know darn well how to tell a stock clip from an aftermarket clip during the consignment phase. I don't know about the other auction houses. I've had this conversation with the VP of Consignment at B-J recently and he'd love to see more full-on builds cross the block.

Perhaps a better question is: What is the ceiling for a budget with the proper list of hard parts, if resale matters?

$75K cost??
