It's pretty simple to me. Just disclose exactly what was done to the car and let prospective buyers decide for themselves what it is. This is possible where builders and or restores are still around. In cases where they are not then inspection by a reputable person(s) maybe the only way.
People keeping registries on high end significant cars can add notes into those registries to outline what has been done and when.
