If this is the one your referring to, it is a very nice car but I'm not sure it's all that original under the hood. Like, what the heck is this?

That's the car. There are VERY few cars that are all original. Its also missing the smog equipment, wrong radiator cap, it has headers but comes with the original exhuast manifolds and pipes. Good possibility the starter has been changed out. That's normal

However, all those things are relatively easy to fix, even the rigged fuel line. Its original enough where it counts such as the drivetrain.

I followed the link in a previous thread and it said it was sold via the Internet auction for $72k.

Yes. I bought the car from the guy Dave Walters sold it to after he restored. I had the correct tack added.
