In general, the value is much higher if it is in beautiful original 
condition. The problem is that once you start to customize, then 
individual tastes intrude and you'll find that as much as you like 
what you've done, others will have different tastes. This strongly 
narrows the range of interested buyers and reduces demand.

If the car is already trashed then customizing is fine, because you 
are rescuing a "lost" car. But if the car is close to original 
condition, it would be a shame and a waste to irreversibly 
customize it, because you would be destroying a very rare, and 
already beautiful, commodity.
