I am personally a "as it was built" right down to the bias-ply tires, however that being said I don't feel I have any business in worrying about what you do with your car, regardless of the numbers matching or no hit body or any other special situation.
The fact is I don't own the car and any opinion I may have is Moot. What a person does with his property is his business and his alone, period, any thing else is BS.

Build your dream, unless you are just in it as an investor type!

OK, thanks everyone for your thoughts. It is much appreciated.
I am NOT an "investor type". They have their place in the Corvette world, I am just not one of them.
My reasons for these questions are that I feel like it is time for me to pursue my "bucket list" cars.
I don't intend to own any of them for the rest of my life.
It will be more along the lines of Get it, Play with it until I am tired of it, Sell it, Buy the next bucket list car.
I have one classic that I am keeping. I am finishing the restoration (OK, so someone else is actually doing the work) on a 1956 Bel Air 4 door sedan. My wife and / or children get to deal with that one once I am gone.
The bucket list cars are just that. I have about 10 cars on the list, and figured I would start with a mid year. I have never owned one.
Stay tuned..and thanks again.
