it doesn't make it worth more or less. if the car needs paint it needs paint. but you read the add you can see what it was being used for. I'm guessing the old lacquer fell off the quarter and the spray bomb is covering the rust. but if you buy the car, get it home and spend in the neighborhood of another 50 grand on it you to can have a car worth about 25 big ones tops. you will then own one of a very few of them. if you love it and want it the money is no object. if your on the fence stay there.
