Now days people tend to accept resto-mods as, while not being an original, an acceptable inspiration of the real thing. In some cases, some resto-mods can fetch higher dollars than an original. For example Take a late 60's Dodge Charger that has a 316 and an automatic in it, swap in a modern Mopar Hemi, and a paddle shift 6 speed, do the body work right and you have a vehicle that will fetch more than the restored to correctness original. That being said it is not going to ever out price an all original Charger with it's original 426 Hemi, but those things are rare and are valuable for their rarity. While I don't thing a modded repop 250 GTO will ever come near the price of an original. I think one could fetch a pretty penny with a repop with a more modern Ferrari drivetrain in it and generally the more modern drivetrains out of wrecked vehicles are much more affordable that trying to source a vintage drivetrain. Unless it is something really rare it is usually not worth the hassle to strive for correctness when a lot of people accept correct enough.
