The engine looks clean to me. But:
- The front fender are showing a different location for the peanut turn signal.
- wrong catch for the deck lid lock
- the outside paint looks new to me
I could imagine a low mileage car regarding the interior including the rubber mats and the carpet and also the door gaps and alignment. Perhaps it had early repairs after an accident? |

Just removing everything that's RED on that car would be an improvement.

The shroud is correct, it’s the last of the stale air, and the beginning of that shaped shroud. This car was built in July of 62, so it’s literally the last of the 62’s. |

Maybe Marilyn Monroe farted in it, that would make it worth a little extra wouldn’t it?  |

...Well, at least it has a "BANGO" steering wheel, and "SPINER" hub caps to fetch this asking price!
