Here's my take...good paint and interior will go a long way in appealing to a buyer who wants a Healey to enjoy right away, doesn't want a project car and isn't overly concerned about origiality. Given that your car needs both paint and interior, it will probably exclude such buyers and put it in a category where originality will be more of a factor in determining value.
