Long term I think the XY is probably the wiser investment, as I think there will always be a market for them and you will be able to move it on without too many problems - lets face it who doesn't like an XY
I tend to think the opposite, for the $$'s, a rare nicely restored Cobra Jet or Boss Mustang is a true collectible and would be a better investment, especially as you could sell it on the international market, keep it LHD of course.

An XY replica I would expect to be cheaper, and as its a replica, it doesn't have to be 'factory' so can have modern gearboxes/brakes/suspension, fuel injection on the ole Clevo or even a modern quad cammer so therefore, biggest bang for your bucks.

@fitzy, the 428CJ may be a decent restorer, trick is to get the best/rarest/highest optioned car you can and restore that, it costs the same amount to paint/restore a 6 potter base model as it does the rarest of rare 'Stangs. What's an decent panel/paint job worth these days? I'd guess you'd have it looking and running pretty slick for $80k all up.
