Cool bike.
I think it' restorable though there's a caveat that I've only seen your pics.
Even if wheels/drivetrain are gone I don't think the frame has terminal cancer and that stem is a sure fire winner.
Since it's already been repainted the whole "patina" thing is moot.
Put some wheels on it and take it for a ride.

I know someone who lives in Parkville that knows quite a bit about old bikes. He might be willing to take a look at it and give you some tips on restoration if you ask him nicely.

clean those wheels up and save them! Do not dispose of anything. I would keep it as original as possible if it were mine.

I will post some detail pictures as I start to clean it up. I hope someone will be able to identify it or at least determine an age.
If someone determines that it is a real museum piece worthy of a thorough restoration, I may try to find it a more deserving home. Other wise I may try to leave it as original as possible and just make it rideable, or put all the parts in a box and put new ones on, or something in between.
