If I was going to build a car today I would go for option 2 because option 1 is always stupid expensive and most of the time not competetive without real deep pockets.
So, I go through the guide and find a 1962 widget that's 400 cubes and 122hp. GREAT!
Now where the heck do I find a 62 400 widget? hmmmmm
Ok, a 2009 widget with blower and 4valves with 122hp. GREAT!
Now where do I find a 09 blown widget? In every freaking autotrader/buyerflyer/local paper.
I'll pick that up tomorrow and order a converter/slicks and gears and run the index. Then, as I pick up I'll be factored accordingly.
(and if I do a stocker build on it first, I'll be -.120 out of the box. That will be hit sooner)

One problem with your plan most of the new cars can not be bought add a converter and slicks and run the index. Because most of them are not in the guide with the motor that came in them.
