I'd be more worried about that big ass stain on the back seat!

Not merely rebuilt - they've been refurbished, too.

What, spray painted matte nickle? Yeah...I'll do that myself if it saves me over $100 and I'll still have a full can left over.

Yep, here's the deal breaker in person...
Original FI and correct window seals may have had a snowball's chance, but there isn't a car out there with the Weber bar-b-que conversion that is worth more than $1500.
The missing fan housing bolt is also a nice touch.

"new generator with alternator conversion" 
Looks to be missing the bellows boot clamp, the rubber wedge from the door striker...the scratched windshield and weird ass dash cover are nice selling points, however.  |

The front left part of the hood doesn't seem to line up at the apron, looks like overbite... hidden damage?
The carb is fixable, the dash can be replaced... a few grand and it's a really nice car... but then it's not worth that price. |

I think it is a tie strap (or 2 ) holding the bellows on. Hey the A/C works

The seat upholstery looks to have been installed by an 8 year old.
Now, if only AC was worth $6k the car might sell at this price... |

Nice read, I am not sure where to start. It is a reasonable price for "almost restored"

So he changed nothing and calls it "rebuilt"? |
