Just venting my Humble Opinion

Yes, the E cars seats sit lower and I didn't like that and raising them just an inch made a huge difference.

At the suspension, or between the floorpan and the seat itself?

I've never sat in an E-body before (there's a clapped out '70 Cuda just 1000' feet from me, but if I sit in it, the seat will probably go through the TWO floorpans that someone sandwiched into that rusted out hulk. The only thing in my personal experience that I can think of as comparison would be the gun-turret feel of a '71-73 Mustang, though I can live with it.

I rather like the look out the hood of my '69 Valiant, which is as upright as it gets. Still crammed and a bit too high at the window though, even though I have a bench. '68 Satellite is a bit less crammed due to the extra width of the interior tub, but the bench on the Satellite seems to sit lower than the Valiant's.

The prices are determined by what the cars bring at auction. It is based on pure supply and demand. The 70-71 Cudas are more desirable to more people than a 67 GTX, either comparing non-hemi to non-hemi or hemi to hemi. On a B body forum, however, you would not expect that to apply.

Although your car is restored on the exterior, I would call it more of a restomod or custom because of the interior modifications. I would expect your car to be worth more as a true to original restoration since that would be of interest to more buyers than a car specialized to a particular individual's taste.
