Anyone want to rescue a neglected VCP Pintail?

I found out about the following boat on Paddling.com and contacted the owner:

https://newhaven.craigslist.org/spo/d/new-haven-11-foot-kayak/6971155492.html

It's a '96, which means it's probably the new design hull and deck. Unfortunately, while the new design is more mainstream, they don't handle like the pre-'95 boats that I prefer (this is definitely a personal preference and not a knock on the new design). It's dirty, faded and has some gelcoat damage on the keel (I have additional pics of this), but it appears to be easily repairable. The price is a steal and I'd consider buying it to restore and sell (it pains me to see it languishing and it would be a fun project), but I can't justify the 3-hour drive each way from NH.

Perhaps someone here would be willing to give it some TLC and a good home.  ?
