Not for me at the price it is heading to. I looked at all the pics and it would turn out to be an expensive restoration, even to preserve the patina. With the rust I see on the bottom panels and fuel tank, frame etc a quick paste wax is less than it needs. Did enjoy looking at the old paint brush job. I remember back in the 50s when a lot of them were painted that way. As to me I like to see them with less patina and more like the way they were when they were close to new, not fine point, but just nice. Your mileage may vary. And I am sure someone would buy it, wonder what the reserve is? BTW, did you see all the other cars he has for sale?
