I think when cars become older and more valuable a repaint matters less and less. As mentioned finding a car from the early '70s with factory paint can be very difficult.

I've heard it more than a few times that a Ferrari from 1965 (for example) may have had a complete and well done repaint in 1968 but because 45+ years of patina are evident and the rest of the car is in excellent condition it is still a very sought after car.

Along the same lines, I've seen it numerous times on "Chasing Classic Cars" that said Ferrari or Porsche Speedster, etc has been through three color changes and no one seems to care.

911SCs and 3.2s aren't there yet (and might never be) but I think it's less of an issue as time goes by.
