Default "Unrestored Original" - except for paint, upholstery, top, plating

A little fun here and a bit of ‘creative marketing’ that I recently found on ebay:
“Unrestored Original”; “One of the very last unrestored examples.”
– except for the paint job, upholstery job, new top, new plating, gone thru mechanically including ‘B’ head, etc. Who know what else?
It looks like a very nice car - one I would like to have. But it certainly is not an 'amazing original unrestored example".

Offered here is a 1931 Model A Ford Deluxe 2 door Phaeton 180A. This car is unrestored original. The body was painted sometime in the 1950’s, but it never has been taken apart. Underneath it is 100% original. I put a new top and upholstery in the car 4 years ago. I had the original bumpers re-chromed when I got it. It runs exceptionally well and has been gone through mechanically including new brakes, head studs and head gasket. It’s an amazing original 180A deluxe phaeton that has been preserved over the years. One of the very last unrestored examples.
