So having been in the classic community from an early age and through numerous cars I think I can help lol.

1. The big block 396 that was available in the SS camaro is definitely a selling point that brings the value of the vehicle up from the 350sb that was the next step down. Obviously a numbers matching big block is worth some serious $$$ but a replacement/crate BB can still influence the price.

2. Value is all in the eye of the buyer. To a true enthusiast a custom camaro with a cage is worthless... To a person who loves custom cars it could be priceless.

3. A frame-off resto is not a cheap thing and can range based upon the quality of work and quality of parts used. Impossible to gauge an accurate price range without a subject in question. So for conversation sake North of $20k

4. Acceptable parts on a resto are a subjective topic. Some one who wants an all original car wont touch "aftermarket." Someone who can afford the true resto or doesnt care will use them.

5. Crate motors value, again, is determined by the buyer. It will, however, draw bigger money than its 350sb little brother.
