1979 450SLC 5.0 advice needed

I have this 5.0 car that has been sitting in my shop for several years now and I'm finally ready to start resorting it. I have an engine for it and a parts car. I'm probably going to sell it once its done. My question is do you think it wood be more valuable and easier to sell restored to stock or should I set it up visually as a rally car with the black hood and racing numbers, etc. ?

I agree with Al, BUT do your homework, lots of theses cars around coupled with weak old car market and the return on investment is not great. That said, they are fun cars to drive,and it only takes one interested buyer
