Looks fairly clean.
The drivers arm rest looks broken - $100 pair
I'm curious about the engine as it is listed as a L-48, yet the motor has the L-82 valve covers. However there is no smog pump, indicating a L-48.
Florida car, hope they never drove it on the beach.
If you have the money to 'ensure' this is or becomes a good car, then go for it.
I've seen worse for more.

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I worry when I don't see any pictures with the headlights up. They look like they are sitting pretty low and I wonder whether the header bar has detached. It might be an interesting car, but I would want to see it in person first.
