Hey guys,
A little while ago I went and looked at a '54 Panama that a guy is interested in selling. I wasn't there for very long, but was able to give the car a quick look, take some pictures, and ask some questions. I'm looking for some guidance as to what you all think it might be worth (given the limited info I can provide), and what type of work I can look forward to if I were to purchase.
I don't have a lot of history on the car. This guy bought it from a farmer years ago and did some work to it. It's been sitting now for years (6+) and not completed. The current owner replaced some of the body panels, did body work anywhere else needed, using "very little Bondo" and then did his own paint. The paint doesn't look bad, though it's not factory correct.

Under the front. Standard surface rust that I would expect to see.

Engine bay. Factory color can be seen on firewall. Missing air cleaner. Engine runs, new battery. Very dusty from sitting.
