Joe, See if the original hubcaps and wheels come with the car as these will have the cloisonne centers and are VERY expensive to replace. Oil leaks other than the rear main are no big deal and I have replaced seals on my 47 at low cost. Alternator is not a bad alteration just thought I would bring it to your attention in case you didn't notice but how can you possibly "hate" polarizing a generator? . I noticed this car when it was first advertised on E-Bay and liked it from the moment I saw the photos. Original Custom interiors in that nice condition indicates to me a well cared for automobile. You seem like a pretty saavy car guy so should be able to navigate through a car deal with no problems. Good luck.
