The pic isn’t of the actual plane for sale. It’s all in the ad. Plane is crated, but no detail. Logs in hand, but no serial. Continental 225 motor. I’ve asked for a copy of the logs, AWC, and registration.
The right A&P might be able to do something with this, but even as interested in it as I am, I wouldn’t give more than $4K.
Offer on the way

Oh, I didn’t see the link when I first looked at Mark’s post.

There's one with a similar paint scheme parked at AFP. At least it was there a few months ago.

Cleared for Takeoff
A local guy has restored (actually disassembled and essentially rebuilt) three Navions that I’m aware of.
Of course, you could just upgrade the E225 to a 520. The 100MPH gear speed is a pain though.

Cool plane. If there's no significant corrosion and all ADs have been complied with you could approximate costs and then decide if it's worth it to you. Even if you got this basket case for free it would still cost a small ransom (not to mention a lot of headaches) to get it to flying condition. A labor of love, no doubt.

Here's another paint option if someone decides to take on this basket case.
