Tropical, I too would have to agree with the rest that with a car of that caliber, there is no such thing as over-restoring it. Regardless of whether it will actually be more detailed than the factory would have ever gotten it or not, there is always someone out there who is looking for either a 100% original appearing restored auto or one that's even cleaner. I'd expect you could easily get $38,500.+ after it's restored, should you ever need to sell out. I knew a guy back home who bought a '70 R/T for $10,000.00 in driver condition, took it all apart and had a full-blown restoration that cost him around another $7,500-10,000.00 in bodywork/paint/interior, and he had an offer of $38,500.00 simply to turn it down for a $40,000.00+ offer from some collector. To net nearly $20,000.00 of pure profit is quite sufficient for maybe 8 months worth of work.
