Cars like this actually retain more value than your average modified Corvette.
An original Lingenfelter 415 ZR-1 is probably one of the most sought after “collectibles”.

Owning a Doug Rippie car, I not only understand but even agree.
However, when showing modded cars to buyers, there is often reluctance, because they simply assume it was some crazed kid driving at full tilt boogie 100% of the time, and they now expect the engine internals to fall out of the bottom of the car at any moment.
Also this was a kit, engine only mods, not the entire car like a "Lingenfelter" car would be.
Still nice though, I would buy it.
