It was painted in 1985 after the first owner sold it to a flipper. It stayed in Canada until 2011 and had severe acid rain damage when I got it. I wet sanded the whole car from 500 grit through 5000 and then buffed it out. It looks pretty respectable now. The interior has been mostly reworked at one time or another, and NJSteve rebuilt the engine and did some under hood clean up which I expanded in somewhat. I would say it has been lightly and sympathetically restored. Here's a copy of the add from Hemmings when the car was sold by the Flipper in '85 or '86. I think that's pretty cool.
