All pro-touring cars are fetching good money these days, you're not going to lose by building a Firebird as one.

That said, I can't say anything other than build what you want. I'm building a 71 Firebird because I've always wanted one, it's one of my dream cars. I do know I'm going to have limitations because of it being nose heavy with a Pontiac engine, and wanting to keep a functional endura bumper, but I'm doing it because that's what I want. I think the end value is more determined by the work put into it, and whether it's tasteful or not. None of my cars are built for end value, I guess that's why I have 3 58 Edsels of differing build types in the works, I personally like doing things differently.
