The first post that you have listed,the"restored car" appears to me to have BN2 frt fenders,wheel well cutout radius looks really large compared to my '53. I could be wrong, eyes can play tricks.
 
The increase in barn find prices has reached full-on stupid. 25,000 pounds for a car needing a new chassis to go along with a complete restoration? There is no market justification. You would probably pay the cost of the restored example to restore the barn find. Back when the barn find was $2,000 it made sense to do your own restoration even if the total cost was just a break even proposition on the grounds that you knew that everything was done to your own preferences. That justification doesn't really exist at 24,000 pounds. You'd be better off buying the restored car, taking it apart, and putting it back together again.
