Love it.
Either option would be excellent.
Darn it would make a excellent living room display.

Look at the size of that front stopper!!!!
If you've got the time, restore it! It's history on two wheels.

Personally, I couldnt own that and not restore it. Not to many of those floating around, if you have the means restore.

Looks close but not identical. I say restore it and ride it. It may just be me, but my opinion is that there is no sense in owning something functional just to have it sit around.
