All good points. I am going to look a bit closer at it today.
Looking at the car mod wise, I see possibly aluminum intake (carb?), headers, floor shifter/ Turbo 400, that cross member skid plate?, and then whatever that bolt is for in the trunk. Also looks like the drivers side door may have been swapped, since it looks dark green. I talked to the selling dealer. needs outer wheel lips in the rear and likely lower rear quarters. also lower part of the fenders may need attention. He said he did not see any evidence of issues under the vinyl top, but as was pointed out I am going to look at those closer.
I have been on the lookout in my neck of the woods for a clean first gen project for a couple of guys. Price wise, and color wise this caught my eye (I am a rally green fan). I have found a few others. One, I couldn't close the deal with the gypsy who was selling a unrestored 67, and the others had issues upon close inspection. I am very picky, so it has to be the right car for the money.
