Wow that is a gourgeous car. Rust free and on the east coast man that has to be a record of some sort. We should call up guiness
It does seem like it would take some work to get it al buttoned up, but what a prize when it is done.
I think you should hang onto it, unless you "have" to sell it. Try to bribe Marconi into giving you a ride in one of his cars. That will certainly light the fuse to get this one fixed.
Thanks for sharing the pictures, and keep us updated on whatever you decide to do with it.
Cheers
