Is this worth restoration?
#3

Unless you are good (and fast) at all of the aspects of restoration, then fixing it up will be a loosing proposition - but if you like to work for low wages - you still might loose out since buyers want either original or a near perfect restoration. Even a semi-good job may be harder to sell than as-is.

Parting it out might bring more money. It really depends how many people can drive to your location. Shipping will eat all of your profit.

Good luck

Let us know what you decide.
