Having a Concours winner and a custom (Yellow) DeLorean has given me an interesting perspective on this. I have been given seriously higher offers for my custom D than I probably would ever get for my Concours D. But yet I still think that the Concours cars "help" set the pricing for the marque. I know of Concours cars that have been "upgraded" and still sold for a premium price because of their Concours status. That said, I still cant imagine paying 60K + for a refurb west coast car, but they do sell them.
