Early Allis Chalmers CA pedal tractor

[Lost in Mojave]

I"ve got an early Eska Allis Chalmers CA pedal tractor. I was wondering if it would be worth restoring before I sell it? It"s been "customized". It needs pedals, crank, clacker mechanism, tires and wheels. Whoever had it before spent a lot of time in painting it. The paint is the wrong color and had lots of highlighting done to the paint. There"s not enough OOOs in smooth to say how slick this paint job is. So it would need to be media blasted also. I have no idea what it"s worth. I"m not a fan of A-Cs. So I have no attachment to it. Now if was an Oliver. That would be different.... Thanks

I'd definately be interested, but the only Oliver I've got is the first Scale Model front assist limited edition they came out with. It"s still in the box but has been opened.......by the dealers wife who just wanted to see what it looked like!! Tore the box to boot!!! Needless to say I was pi$$ed. I haven't looked at it in years, but I think it's Joe Ertl signed and I believe it an Oliver 70. I looked at the outside of the box and it doesn"t say what it is. It's up in the garage and bitterly cold and I really didn't want to take it out
