Re: original paint cars
I bought my truck as a nearly complete running vehicle. It was made up from three other trucks. An owner prior to me painted the Gulf signage on the door and did a good job of making it look authentic. I've recently started doing bodywork to repair rust, fender rips and dents. I won't be able to make it perfect but I believe if it has a sound body the next owner will have something to work with. It will not have the $15k paint job, it will be a fun project.
I recently visited a man that had an "over-restored" '29 Ford pick up. It was in great shape but just looked too shiny and not the least bit historical.
