Trick question. Here's a trick answer. The older car with absolutely no rust through the paint or undercoating would be my choice. Here's why this could be true. The newer redo was done 6 months ago -- underlying problems will not surface in paint for up to three to five years (i.e. a bad paint job that was not neutralized will have paint bubbling sooner or later). I have had an experience with this and it was a total paint redo on a bare metal restoration. And this was on a rotisserie and blasted to bare metal. Very bad for me; but I really liked the car so it was done with another paint/body man that I trusted -- that was 10 years ago and there have been no paint issues with the car.

Best of luck & have fun.
