Salvageable, but difficult. That C-pillar would have to be refabricated, doubt Bertone have a stash of panels in a warehouse either...
Whole roof is probably rotten if leading edge gone, and finding US-style headlights in RHD? Hmm.
And windscreen surround, sills etc etc. but that's standard stuff.

It's a UK model and the interior isn't covered in chicken****, so it's doable if some mad bugger had the time and inclination, but not really economic. You'd have to really want it.

Even th humidity in the air will permeate most primers so i've been told by those that apparently know. Also song lyricists tell lies - big ones!

It makes me laugh at all the ‘barn finds’. If you look at this one it doesn’t look as though it’s been started or moved and it’s clearly not a barn find as it isn’t in a barn.

I think ‘barn find’ suggests vehicles are kept out of the elements, sheltered and dry and need dusting off and recommissioning. Now a days ‘barn find’ is almost always applied to scrap type vehicles that people are trying to punt on*


*no reflection at all on this advert which I haven’t reviewed - it is simply a refulextion of the term ‘barn find!.

Absolutely, if it doesn't have straw in it, it's not a barn find.
Extra points for roosting chickens.
