I would get it running, clean it up and show it as it is. Serious enthusiest's will appreciate it more than a trailer queen.
i'll have to agree.i myself would never even consider buying a totally restored car.i tend to be a perfectionist and the little things that are wrong on a resto just bug the hell out of me.if i was looking at it , i would fix what needs fixing do a nice repaint,new top and drive it.
