Depends on what you build, a drag car. Don't expect to get much return on your investment. A friend of mine has an original 1969 Camaro SS 396, that was turned into a drag car. All of his original parts were sold to fund his racing habit. He knows that he won't get much money out of his 1969 Camaro, but he loves to drag race.

Pro-touring cars now are selling for big $$$, and first gen Camaro's are big $$$. Although, I never built mine to sell. I built it solely because it is my first car, and I plan to drive it. I have owned my 67 since 1983, but I always wanted it to handle like my 1989 Pontiac Firebird Formula 350. We spent lot of time on mine, but it was ideas that I had in the past.
