Thanks for all the advice. It is appreciated, and understood. OTOH, I have contacted the seller, and have made a tentative deal on the car. I will likely fly out to see it, and conclude the sale. From the seller's description along with the photos, it is believable that this has 33k original miles. It is unmolested for the most part, has almost all the original parts. That along with the provenance of the car and its documented options like HO, A/C, etc. make it a good deal for me. I don't have time for a complete restoration, this car doen't need it, yet it is a very presentable car as is. The kind of tlc I do have time for along with new paint, it should be very nice car indeed. I look forwards to being more active here!
