A fuse cover plate and correct shifter and shifter boot would be a good place to start.
However, the car looks complete, the bumpers look good. In the end it comes down to rust. You cannot see the potential body issues from the pictures. It might have 20 pounds of bondo lurking about.
I wonder if that is a dash cap or a nice original dash?
Got an eBay reply from the seller when I asked if it was a cap. He said it IS a cap. I still wonder how JP knows.
He also disclosed the price for which he said he'd sell the vehicle writing:
"Good eye! New Dash Cap. Bought the car in March and that was
how she came. Looks good, though." ...
"Looking to get around $X000-$Y000. Let me know, if you are
serious and I will work with you on the price."
Dash caps are sent with this detailed set of instructions that tell you how to glue them down. Huge pain in the ass, and takes forever for the glue to dry, and they fit nice and snug almost everywhere, so...... They don't get glued down. Mine isn't.
But when they're not glued down, the two places they have a little bit of slop is around the outside gunports and the instrument cluster. Instrument cluster isn't so noticeable, but that bottom "ear" around the outside gunport is a dead giveaway, if you know what to look for.
If you can get up close and personal, one way to tell - even if it's been glued down by a perfectionist - is you'll have rings in the center vent gunports, about 1/4" out from the trim. Very difficult to see in a photo (unless it's a color dash and a black dashcap), but always there.
