I can tell it has been cheaply painted, probably covers up a lot of cancer with cheap repairs. I'd be anxious to walk around it with a magnet, especially on the wheel lips.

Does appear it had rockers put on it though, hope it wasn't those slip on types. Those sunvisors cause rot as well, if it's been on there a while it probably has issues.

To me, anything over about $2500 is a pretty strong price on it without proving it has had a drive train rebuild. Bonus is the emissions have been removed already.

You asked !

First thing I noticed was how he conveniently watered it down trying to make the faded paint shine, Rust under both doors and what looks like rust just under the edge of the door seal LH rocker. Having been painted before there's no telling how much rust has been bondo-ed over. He didn't do anything to clean the inside up.....

IMO, Too much $$$$ without a hands (magnet) on total look over.
