Steve, I would never suggest that 3047 is anything other than a great car. But any car that has been repainted has had that paint scuffed so the new paint has a chance to adhere. Even if 3047 wasn't prepped properly and the original paint could be revealed, compounded, and brought back, it will never be quite the same as a car that has never been repainted at all. Any prospective purchaser will wonder how much remains original, and how much new color has been fogged in. 3047 might be classified as the S/C with the most remaining original paint, however the question marks will very likely put it into a very similar classification as a car that has had one repaint in its original color.
