Gios Compact mistake purchase

I rode it when it was offered for sale, and I liked it. I still do. He said it was a 61cm, which is on the short range for me, turns out, it's a 60. SN 707135. The seller said it was his father's, and he appears to have attempted to paint it without priming it, and picked a shade of blue that is way off. The raised "GIOS" lettering is intact. It has the non coin accepting forks. I cannibalised all but the crankset (172.5), bb, and headset (Dura Ace). Is this worth selling, I wonder. Someone with painting skill and decal application may make something of this.
