Its called Hot Rod building. Unless its a 69SS Camaro or anything like wise ur gonna spend the $$$$ and bendover and take it when you sell it. I have about 17K in my boat and parts and I bet it wont pull 10K if I tried to sell it. Hell I bet it wouldn't bring 8K. Now if I took all the parts out and sold it all seperate I would make a ton more. Just the economics of anything hi-performance.
