Original correct cars restored by pros are in more demand than do it yourself resto/mod/customs and bring in the bigger dollars on average when they are finally sold....

No, they won't. Street rods prove it, but a resto-mod on a '67 Fairlane will bring more money thana stock '67 fairlane in the same condition.
Again, the exceptions are the very rare and desirable classics and a few musclecars. But they ARE the exceptions.
But like I said, cars like that '30 Ford have a MUCH larger pool of potential buyers as a street rod or traditional hot rod than as a restored original, and that's shown in the pricing.
You sold your RX7 and for $8k? It was a nice car, but you did real well on that sell.
At the time, there were very nearly no other V8 RX7s in the world. I gave away a lot of plans packages in the mid-90s and the car inspired an entire website dedicated to V8 RX7s.

Barret Jackson does not agree. ..Old cars are like rare coins.Drill a chain hole in an old indian head nickle and see if it is worth as much as the original correct one...case n point.

Again, a stock 1930 Model A at Barrett Jackson will go for LESS than a similar quality Model A Street Rod will. All day long and twice on sundays.
All you are talking about is the RARE stock musclecars and exotics.
Let me put it another way, my '63 Mercury Comet is valued at $8k in stock restored condition. In my hot rodded condition, it is worth double that, if not more.
I've been dealing in these cars for decades, my friend.
This car in my garage:
is worth more than this one:
Yet they both started out the same.
This is worth more than a stock '69 Mustang, other than a BOSS 429. But since it wasn't a BOSS when it started, it's worth more than what it would have been restored:
nice 69 mustang merc,(makes plans to relieve merc of his nice 69 stang)
