I think the body styles that were traditionally turned into hot rods back in the 40s and 50s are still holding good values. Roadsters and Coupes (not sport coupes) done in a traditional hot rod style are popular right now and that has kept the price of project and finished bodies fairly high relative to the other styles. For that reason, if you’re looking for resale then go for a Coupe or Roadster but the buy in is high. If you don’t care about this being a good “investment” then go with one of the other body styles because there’s some really good value in sedans that really allow enjoyment in some ways better than the coupes and roadsters.
