Jim, the guys gave you good advice, I own a restoration shop and I always tell people they can buy for less than having one restored. Some exceptions are muscle cars that are hot right now(thanks to Barrett-Jackson) or like a 57 Chevy convertible. I would have a trusted appraiser check one out for you so you get what your paying for and not something thrown together for selling only. The 3 or 4 hundred dollars for this is money well spent. Good luck.
