On a Yenko I do not believe it raises it's value a whole lot for the simple reason that the VIN's for the most part are known. The paperwork adds a lot of cool factor but the car is already known to be real.
In the case of say an LS6 Chevelle (ok, ok but it's what I know) I believe it can add as much as 20% or more depending on coupe of convertible. In the case of convertibles and especially Canadian documented cars it can add a WHOLE lot more as recently seen. These cars are just too easy (relatively speaking) to fake so paperwork pays a large part in it's value and therefore authenticity. I have many clients who will not even consider a non documented LS6 which is just one of the reasons why I am so passionate about 'real' paperwork, stamps and other identifying information on these cars.
Just to add Paul, I do not believe anyone is specifically putting you into a pool of thieves or dishonest people. That is based on all the positive comments you have received from many people including myself. You won't find too many of the other people doing similar work getting those compliments. I, like you have defend myself against all the unscrupulous restoration shops and thieves out there as I too sometimes feel like I am put in the same category as the others which is why I cannot bend the rules and have to practice what I preach.
