I would say to document everything you do to it, receipts and all. Had a claim with boat us and their response at first was "well, you have an old boat". Well duh, you knew the age of the boat when you took my premiums all those years. I finally got the issue resolved, but I did not care to hear those words.
I own a 1971 Plymouth Satellite that I bought new. I restored it, but it also has sentimental value to me. I had to send pictures and got insurance company to up the value. I also read car forum posts that people show restoring a Satellite and "cloning" it into a Roadrunner. Roadrunners and GTX's bring more money when selling, but if it is not original, they don't bring the money. I don't know if the collector car thing is germane here, but just saying.
