Yes and no. The missing logs aren't enough to eliminate it from consideration but they indicate that it should warrant closer inspection. Check with the FAA for 337s filed for that airplane during your pre-buy process. The different color plastic is less of a concern than the log books.
These airplanes are old. There probably isn't going to be a plane out there without some discrepancies. If this plane is as represented, it sounds promising. I don't know about the price though.
