I saw this on Jalopnik.  The video was fun.  The online comments were entertaining.  A number of people weighed in about the necessity and cost of upper and lower engine rebuilds, fuel injector pump, rubber bits, and so on.  All true, but the body seemed straight, and the chrome benefited from the hibernation, so all I could think was that this is a comparatively cheap restoration.
