Interesting bike.
$500 doesn't sound like a bad price for a unique piece of cycling history. However, it appears as if that frame has been built up from parts, so the stem is definitely modern, and the groupset appears to me to be a few steps down from the top. I'd expect the bike to be built with Dura Ace, or a high-end Campy groupset.
Those may be sewups, as expected, but the rims are suffering from brake rub on anodized surfaces.
So, restoration/rebuilding wouldn't be cheap.

Really cool frame design and the blue paint he had done looks killer in the sun. I am sure I will post pics of it when he finally builds it up.

Hopefully he has some good photos of the bike from before painting. Perhaps photos of the decals someone was selling. Then, with a laser printer, one should be able to print one's own decals or waterslides. Or with a laser cutter, cut stencils.
