I've owned and own ... Fully Restored Trailer Kings and Original no debate true survivors! I have also bought and sold both type of cars. The market in my opinion and I'm probably only talking about Chevelles.... Is as strong as ever. There are buyers who would pay what others think insane money for the Survivor!! Patina. Orig paint and drivetrain and interior along with docs. And another set of buyers that will do the same for the Trailer King cars. I've been a part of watching both level of cars change hands. The conclusion is simple.... People buy what they like and pay what they are comfortable paying. Room in the hobby for both and all things inbetween.
