Wasn't that posted before? Looks familar.
At any rate: :"Project car!! 1970 Chevrolet Corvette is an original. The vehicle needs work. Car does have rust.The 1970 Corvette has a 1973 front end but is a 1970 Corvette on title"
So it's original except for the parts that are not? Front end replaced, why? Accident? Frame bent? what else is not original.

Unfortunately, this one looks like a donor car - but there are some parts on it worth using for someone with a project.

But I really like the description: “Vehicle does have rust on the front part of frame.” They forgot to state it correctly: "Vehicle does have rust on part of the frame. The other parts of the frame are now gone."

Worth watching, the danger of not checking a frame.
