Would you restore it or leave it as it is? I think I'd drive it as is for a while..

very cool-you'd have to leave it "as is" it would cost as much as the car to chrome it !

 

I like it----are you trying to get me in trouble

This car is way too cool! Love that engine compartment!

I'd leave it as is for the rest of it's days, just spruce it up a bit as you go. I'd get rid of that lower mis-matched repaint (blow-in a closer colour match).

Wonder what it's like underneath?

It runs ... there is exhaust smoke in the one pic.

I really like this car.

I wonder if that brighter shade of yellow is a portion of unfaded original paint? The engine and trans are rebuilt so you are good to go mechanically.

Leave that dinosaur alone! Re spray the lower fender to match better and drive the Slug as-is

I dunno. That lower portion looks a lot like Apollo gold. I've seen on more than one occasion a car with original paint having an area that was covered look like new while the rest of the car is faded. Paint chip:
