The car would need an in person inspection. The fit of the hood is terrible. I'm thinking it's been hit. There are a bunch of items that can get spendy on these cars to make them right. I see it's missing the TI coil, so one could assume the distributor is not right. I also see there is no wire going to the right side cylinder head for the TCC system. The carb for these cars are trading in the neigborhood of 1100-1500 alone, to say nothing for the other associated smalls. You need to put rubber on it (obviously).

Having said all of that, high 40's IMHO

You are the man! Thanks for taking the time to explain that

This one has been relisted - for $59,950 in the link below.

That hood does fit pretty badly - it's even easier to see in a front view.

I think the surround panel has been worked on between the hood and headlight doors for the common rust issue and not very well. It appears wavy and low on the right side, possibly causing the gaps there. The right HL door appears to be in good alignment with the rest of the panel around it and there is a bubble on the left, presumably from rust still under it. The rest of the gaps look decent..
