I have several thoughts about this.

To begin with there is a wide range within what people call a "restoration."

Many "restorations" are nothing more than a patch up overhaul of the engine, repair whatever else needs repairing and then have it painted. The paint job might be an Earl Scheib, or it might be a meticulous paint job. Either way a "full restoration" a paint job does not make.

Secondly, the possibility exists that a true restoration was done and the owner was put into the situation of being forced to sell it. This is not to much of an imagination stretch in todays economy.

The former situation is much more likely than the latter. I would approach any car that is claimed to be "fully restored" with much skepticism.

Good luck,
