1956 Mercury

1956 OB1.jpg (25.2 KB) look at what my brother a state sale,a 1956 Mercury 2 stroke out board Mark 75, the motor was only ran in fresh water only for 4 years, and for the age it has no rust at all, now it hasn't ran in 48 years and was stored in a garage covered in a canvas when the owner's wife became pregnant, and it has not been used since 1960. It came off an old Chiss Craft. He also has the original manuals for the motor.
My brother knows I go on BD all the time and want to know if I could ask you guys if you know anything about this type of motor so that he can know how much it would take to fix it or if he should sell it as collectable.
Any and all advice is appreciated thanks guys
