This story is so interesting to me as my car has nearly the same story. Except that a few mice had taken up residence. I did not find it in the barn but the fellow I bought it from had not washed the bird poop, dust, leaves or cleaned the floor. His intention was to keep it "as found". He had a body man dolly out a couple small dents in the fender and got it to run, "somewhat".
I decided it needed a washing and it polished up quite well except for the front fenders. The front seat cushion needed a cover and the floor got a piece of used carpet. Tuned it up and made it driveable. I really enjoy the car in it's "oldness" as do so many people that see it. The old smell and all the rattles just enhance the experience. I would not change anything to make the car like new. If the next owner wishes to do something different it will be his or her choice. I enjoy and appreciate the restoration work that other enthusiasts are capable of. Those cars are absolutely beautiful!
