I'm definitely no pro but I don't think so! A lot of these (especially if they're just shells) can often just be sitting in disrepair. I've seen everything from show pieces in hotels/museums/shops to full enthusiasts who do their own restorations and drive them around, just depends. There's some pretty incredible restoration shops dotted around the country too. If it's true there's no engine in this one, that opens the list up I would think to more shops who can just restore the body. I would LOVE to get a peek at the interior.Out of curiosity, do vintage car enthusiasts shudder at stuff like this? Having antiques repainted and displayed in an amusement park instead of professionally restored and preserved in a museum?
This is the sort of thing where it might be better to custom fabricate the vehicle if only to preserve history.
Edit to say I can't comment on level of rarity for this type of car but we're not talking like only 10 in the world made. It was a mass market Ford vehicle after all, but there's a solid community that loves and appreciates these cars which is really fun
