John, >From your description you are definitely talking about a restoration. IMHO It's not even close to being considered a parts car. Things like tires, cracked dash / binnacle, struts, interior filth, sagging headlines etc. are typical problems with cars that have been in the sun and neglected. Get a good deal and go for it!
