Have fun with it. These are special cars. Enjoy it while you can. It will get a full proper restoration eventually.

Let us be clear...U would be a GDmed FOOL to put that car up for sale without doing your homework as to its HISTORY..That history will net U an extra 10K +, especially if it is a noteworthy history. So it is worth your time and effort.
U are right to flip it, if you don't have the stroke to do it right. The guy who does do it right is REALLY CUTTING HIS PROFIT MARGIN in the car as he is going to close the gap between what it is worth and what he has in it. When finding a car like that it is BEST to flip it and make the DINERO (unless you have VERY VERY deep pockets). Then you can go on to something else. I guarntee there is ALWAYS something else just around the corner.
A Pre A might be something special, but there are other Speedsters out there and that puts a ceiling on their value.
BTW Do not do anything to that car except for cleaning it up. Guys who want that car want it just the way you found it.
