The cost of something, the originality of something and the desirability of something don't really go together. If you wanted to build a Yenko clone with a correct dated X44 car, a correct dated 427 engine with all correct dated components, correct dated trans, rear, etc. it would cost you an easy $75-100K to build. Is it worth $100K to someone else? It all depends on the buyer. It's just as expensive(if not more expensive) to restore a car into a correct clone than to restore an original car that has some of the components already there. But most of the clones aren't even close to being correct clones and people still pay $30-80K for them.
