History has shown that it will either negatively affect the resale value (not by too much) but could also take longer for it to sell.

But this also depends on spec, color, condition etc.

Really depends on the condition of the car.
If ur starting with a low mileage minty high price $35-40k collector grade car then a conversion may lower the value. If your starting with a mid range $20 to $25k car with 100 k + miles ie a driver then a proper well done conversion won't impact the value and may increase it. If it'a a $15k high mileage runner than the conversion would increase the value.

Well said! This is what I think as well.
