Fascinating pictures! This car is way beyond economical restoration. It's so rusty there would probably be no salvageable panels at all. Even the aluminium panels would be bulging on there frames. Anyone attempting this would end up creating a completely new car and swapping the chassis plate over at the end. In fact, that chassis plate looks pretty rough too, so that would have to be remade also. I bet the glass in the clocks would be salvageable.
It would have to be worth $500,000 when finished to justify it. I would hate to see it broken up for spares, I think it should go into a museum just the way it is. If I had the money and space I would buy a car like this just to look at.
