A very successful buyer/builder/seller of "vintage muscle" once told me, "If you're going to go to the trouble and expense of fully restoring a car, start with a rare one".
That $55K COPO basket case, + another $55K spent "doing it right", leaves you with a possibility of doubling your money. Even in today's market, assuming the car has bullet-proof documentation.
A $10K 6- or 8-cylinder Base Coupe, + $55K, likely leaves you "in the ditch".
That "spread" in values leaves lots of room for the VIN-guy to operate within...
