What are your thoughts - is this an "unrestored" car?
IMHO, it is unrestored and simply has more patina.
I parked my Cobra right next to Anthony's #5 red SC at Fabulous Fords a few years ago. Trust me, he leaves everything as original as possible and drives them everywhere! A great guy and true to the legacy.
