if
someone is buying an original car, then it should have all the original
stuff. No more, no less. If the car didn't come with an option and that
option is included in the sale, the car is by definition "over-restored".
Not by any definition I've ever seen.
A fully optioned car is not over-restored.
A car painted in thick wet-look clear coat that was never available when the
car was new is over-restored.
A car with a chromed air filter or brake booster - or any other part chromed
that wasn't originally - is over-restored.
A car with leather upholstery that originally had vinyl is over-restored.
A car with factory overdrive or factory hard top, even though it may have
left the factory without them, is NOT over-restored. Those items could have
been
added by the dealer.
