I had this very same discussion with Smitty a few weeks ago.  It is impossible to perfectly preserve an automobile over 50 years; age and weather take their toll, so all become "modified" over time. In some cases there is value in looking at an "unmolested original" and in other cases you ate better off with a "perfectly restored" example. The devil is in the details. Let the buyer beware.
