I don't think that's a restoration, the weraring/deteriorating part that are still available new is different to those on this car. The dash top looks perfect, and that isn't a reproduction because the grain on those is different.

This looks to me like a car that has genuinely been in storage for a long time, look at the buildup of corrosion on the bezels for the switches, once people try to remove them they almost always nick the chrome.

It has a full set of Goodyear D8 crossply whitewalls those are surely original. I certainly haven't seen new Goodyear 6.40 X 15 crossplies ever I don't think.

There is no wear on the paint of the pedals, the kick pnel I can see in the photo is undamaged.

The issue with this car may well be how it was kept for all these years, the passage of time doesn't stop just because something is left unused.

Whatever its history, it looks like an awesome survivor.
