Has the "patina" trend caught on here yet?

Just went and looked at this little sleeper today! Original paint, some chips here and there, dirty and needed a bath, would clean up but probably not shine like new for sure, and it is the lowest trim level post car! ID love to have it!! Oh yea, it is a 340/auto/Dana/ 4 wheel disc/100shot nitrous/ spool mount LBP car!! Badazz!!!

Oh yea, its for sale too...$6500!!

If the mechanicals are in good shape,smoking deal. As for the state of "patina", it depends on the situation. A old unrestored rod/ dragster/ Kustom in original shape, hell yes. Going out of the way to do fake...Well ,it's fake.... Just my opinion. If you do bodywork to make something straight, put good paint/primer on it. Good topic,though.
