Default Originality and collectibility

I think it is safe to say that buyers of older Alpinas and BMWs prefer manuals over automatics. But what about originality and the impact on collectibility?

For example, 20 years from now when an E30 is more collectible, will buyers pay more for a car that came from the factory as an automatic that is still an automatic, or more for a car that was later converted to a standard?

Another example might be: would you pay more for a 2002tii today if it were a converted manual or a factory automatic?

What are your opinions?
