Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but this car is considered as one of the advanced prototypes... which ought to raise it's significance over other 2 digit cars.

This is definitely an opportunity to acquire a significant car. If I were in the market for a '65 I would take a strong run at this one. Best thing it's not a trailer queen so you could actually drive it!

Does its status as an advanced prototype maybe explain some of the quirks & inconsistencies that have been pointed out, ie: lanyards, pinch weld, wheels, tach, steering wheel, etc.?

On one hand—some good car do sell at auctions—on the other hand—all bad cars sell at auctions...

Good luck.

Do you not know the answer to most of your own question or is it rhetorical ?

It would be a fun project to correct.
The history of the car is Johm Christy. I would bring it back to how it was when he last owned it. 100 point cars lose all that history.
