A very good example of resto cost and value of a 69 Cuda

yes.

But most people have something in between. Some light bolt on mods or stuff you can’t really see.

For our car show purposes, we call those Restified. And it’s usually the more popular than modified or stock.

I have been to Mopars nats first time about 1987?
I admit I am not a show show type but I love to see beautiful cars no matter what make or type of build. There is a place in our hobby for everything and everyone.
Would I buy a "done" car with shaved door handles. No. I would not want it that way nor want to do the work and spend the $ to undo it. Just me. Does it make that car worth less? Just to me maybe. Am I am 100% nubers guy? No. But I will not put down anyone for their style of build. I will not put down the guy that cannot afford or have the ability or tools to do it "right" either! ha
How did we get off subject! ha
