Based strictly on value when finished none of them are “worth” restoring. It’s quite easy to build a $1000 motor that will struggle to fetch $500 when sold. It’s an easy decision for me, I hate to paint. Anything. I enjoy running clean survivors and passing them on to someone who may or may not appreciate them. Not my problem once they move on.
But if you enjoy the journey of restoration and showing it then that is the true value. For the most part the vintage car or motorcycle hobbies are the same. Very few return a profit, and if they do it’s in a small window of opportunity.
