No, they won't. Street rods prove it, but a resto-mod on a '67 Fairlane will bring more money thana stock '67 fairlane in the same condition.
Again, the exceptions are the very rare and desirable classics and a few musclecars. But they ARE the exceptions.
But like I said, cars like that '30 Ford have a MUCH larger pool of potential buyers as a street rod or traditional hot rod than as a restored original, and that's shown in the pricing.
