Missing headlight surrounds, so who knows what else is missing. New carb - some Edelbrock POS? One piece roof - those were cheap. Yeah, price is right.

Maybe - looks like a lot of half-assed wiring under the hood

An attractive car at an attractive price...Make one wonder why it was so in expensive when they are often listed online at nearly twice that amount...

Am I seeing the #2 plug wire routed around the FRONT of the header? Maybe the wire was too long...??

i remember when mecum would have the under car camera so we can all see under all the cars as they rolled by.. they stopped that.. and even in pics.. nothing under..
clean frame and lack rust changes the value IMO.. the rest is bolt on

I'd say reality vs desire. Sure, you'd like to sell it for $20k, but what's the use if no one will buy at that price.

Upper half recently painted.

That's one way to save $$ on a SA paint job..
