I don't know.

Have a friend who owns a '52 Chevrolet pickup that was in original condition and converted it into a Rat Rod. He did very little to the paint, just a cleaning and flat clear coat. There are some rubbed thru places, but not that much. It looks like the truck is old and well used...with a custom frame, Corvette running gear. The interior is minimal; as they were.

The cars I've seen where the builder tried to mimic patina just don't look quiet right to me. They always seem to be too distressed. With a little rubbing there would be some shiny places.Anyone who came across a potential $300,000 car in this condition would surely do a restoration.

Maybe if they had a few dents and some bailing wire. I think in the real world you never come across Porsche like this unless it had just come from the barn.

To each his own...I guess I just like shiny
