I still don't understand why sellers don't clean things up before taking photos. If I'm working on my '71 and my wife brings me a sandwich and asks if I need a plate, I reply no.....I have my air cleaner lid!
The mileage does seem questionable, but I hope they get their price.
I wonder how old the battery is.

Normally, the bumper and bumperettes never fit right after a front end collision repair, they leave out the headlight shields, or they use 71 bumperettes with screws instead of tabs on the long section of the "L".
Installed the correct '70 parking light lenses today. I was expecting clear bulbs to be in there, but fortunately the amber ones were still there.

Very nice! I'll bet you're like me....would rather be out in the garage detailing my cars instead of being inside reading a book.
