Human nature is gonna win out every time on this one. For every 5 of you that will bid higher if original there only has to be 0ne that likes shine to out bid you. Sometimes the thinking is that if they didn't take care of the exterior condition that everybody sees then they sure didn't do any better to the internals. Right or wrong , that's the way it is. Personally when I look for one to restore or buy for myself , I won't buy someones cobbled up paint job. And believe me most of them are just that. Give me "straight tin" , "good rubber", and "complete" and the rest will follow. Throw out any of those and then the mechanicals will be suspect too. Now , on the other hand , if it is an expo paint job then it's probably good all the way through because no one is gonna spend $3000 to paint a turd.
