The Ford Barn

The question of how much comes up with every Model A purchase. Here is an interesting dilemma. Assume you are a good shade tree wrench bender but not a heavy maintenance or auto body mechanic. You are looking at two same version Model As. One is a barn find that has no rust, good wood, and is all complete but needs interior, paint, and a drive line rebuild. The other is clean, a great driver, and has a 10 year old resto, and needs nothing. The barn find is going for $4k while the resto asking is $18K. Which route would you go and why ?
