No, it's a CL ad. He missed one word. 'Needs' restored. Amusing how he says there are just a few little thing needed to finish.

Painting the water pump housing black, is painting the bottom of the engine? Oh wait.... is that even paint? Maybe oil??
MSD dizzy in ad, yet looks to be a factory dizzy in the pics.

If the mismatched mirrors are reflective of the approach to "restoration" this one merits caution. Here is the blurb.

How can the roof work perfectly when there is white oil bottles and garbage in the roof well and he just lowers the roof on all that crap. No wonder it won’t go down flat. To me it’s a $500 dollar car. Total misrepresentation. There I feel much better now.

I think he posted pictures of his parts car by mistake.
Needs a lot of work.

Must be a pretty serious trans leak to just "keep" a funnel in the dip stick tube.

At least the corners are round.. close enough.. ;-)
I bought some, (correct style fuselage PS side mirrors) from a Canadian guy around 2008.. and I remember I thought they might be generic copies.. They were remote operated, and had extremely long cables. Would reach all the way across, and could be mounted somewhere in the dash, in front of the driver. Anyone here ever saw such "copy parts" ? He also sold seat switches.. (bench type).. I bought a pair, thinking I could retrofit them into my "bucket bezels".. Never got around to it! The switches were also new, but had "a funny feeling" abt those too..

It's priced a little on the high side.... But it looks solid and hmmm... a Polara 500 vert in what looks like B3 blue?
It is a project and some of the challenge may be undoing things the present owner has done, but it could be a great car when finished. An up close look would be in order.
I'll bet you could buy it for $2k...
