I bought a 'mutt' like this, didn't know any better at the time.
What pushes my hot button is when the seller tries to hide it. This
guy seems honest about it. My seller was not, I was stupid enough not
to know any better (at the time), and I paid too much for it (altho
I'm not as agitated about its muttiness as I am about all the
P.O./PepBoys 'fixes' I've had to correct).
Regrets? Naw. Going on 8 yrs and 90,000 miles now (need I say more?).
If I ever sold it.. I'd be upfront about it. Yeah, maybe I'd lose a
sale to a purist, but I'm pretty sure I'd find someone that would
appreciate the way I've got it running now...

Ha! :) As I approach needing my 2nd windshield in 8 yrs...
Wife and I were cruising the other day and got caught in a nasty,
gully-washing rain storm. I thought we were going to have to stop and
get bailing-buckets -- and the top was up!! She was freaking about
being in a convertible with lightning/thunder going on around us. I
told her not to worry, I'd just drive faster so the lightning will
miss us ;) .... maybe if I wrapped the inside of the ragtop with
tinfoil? :)
