I'd like to offer a little counterpoint to the endless posts that buyers do not like (or pay for) modifed cars. To avoid any confusion, I am not saying that a modded car will enjoy the same valuation as a stock one. Repeat: Stock cars will always be worth more than modified.

Ok?

Good...as the value of stock cars rise, the value of modifieds will generally also rise, but not as much. Modified values won't go down while the bone stock examples appreciate...unless they are ugly POS's.

Now, please have a look at this mongrel:

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-cars-sale/786042-fs-1970-911t-coupe-930-3-3-turbo-engine.html

Its a freakin' beautiful mongrel. Asking price of 79k for a longhood 911, with RS flares, 930 3.3 liter engine, and a 915 transmission that "needs attention" This car was sold in a matter of days. Absolutely nothing about this car was stock, and yet it sold in days for an asking price that probably exceeds most stock 911Ts. Of course we don't know the actual selling price, but the speed of sale suggest that the car was priced close to "market"

This shows that modded cars can command some pretty good prices if they are well done and documented.
