hard to say, its an extremely original paint job, apparently with a lot of history, it would be a shame to ruin it...but id probably restore it

The guy selling is a real tool. Claims he had a bid of 200k retracted. Says currently has a bid on another auction at 15k. Car looks solid, but I really don't know if this guy is for real. It may go for 10-15k, I'm just gonna have to watch for now I guess.
