You can have all the pics in the world, etc.
but a paint job will always raise questions as to what was underneath.
With decent care, the factory paint on even a 1980 should still look pretty good. With factory paint, any body, crash damage, etc. issues simply become a non-issue. What you see is what you get, end of story.
Plus, I don't think ALL paint jobs always decrease the value. Just probably 99% of the time. If you spend $15,000 on a "remove all parts and repaint" job on a '78 SC, it will increase the value of the car over mediocre original paint. But, most paint jobs are $2500 or less jobs that are (1) done because of some damage, and (2) are inferior to the factory paint. Thus the general rule holds true.
