What's not so comforting is that the way the ad is worded. Usually, restoration means it was disassembled and rebuilt to an extent and there is some level of documentation (written or pictorial) to validate it.
I wouldn't call a paintjob,carpets and seat covers a resto personally. Also, there are no receipts for any of the engine or mechanical work.
The ad info is most likely from the owner as PIM has a great reputation. They were very helpful.
At this point, I think you'd want to arrange for a full inspection to make sure there aren't any other suprises.
