There are several types of restoration. I would get details on what kind of frame off was done.
In other words, restomod where things were updated with more modern parts (A/C, wheels and tires etc.).
NCRS restoration where everything is as close to the way it came from the factory as possible.
Restoration using reproduction parts such as many of those auctioned off at Bloomington Gold.
Finally, what I call a "street" restoration using a combination of factory replacement parts and after-market parts for cars that are never intended to be judged just driven.

Again, if it is the car on ebay that was linked by another post then it has been driven and appears to be a nice car to drive. I have asked ebay sellers for more detail in photos by takeing closer shots at items. You can get a good idea on the condition with detail shots. I also think it would be a great idea to hire out an inspection or maybe a form member who lives near the car can look at it.
In the condition that it appears to be in you should be able to drive it home weather permiting. Do a round trip ticket and if you don't like the car come home and start looking for another. If you happy with it drive it home. Could be a fun adventure.
Good Luck and keep us posted
