Backdate value

What's the value of backdates vs impact bumpers these days? I haven't seen many backdates on the market and am curious if these are trending in a similar trajectory as real longhood examples.

I'm considering backdating a '75 Targa (the car is really tired and needs a full bare metal respray). I've located most parts and I figure it's about $4K more to backdate than to restore the body to original condition. I'm thinking it's a no-brainer that the car will be worth more as a backdate and it's a cheap way for me to own a "longhood."

I'm thinking of making it a replica of a '70-73 911T (keeping the narrow fenders and standard T bumpers).

What do you guys think?
