Go knock his price down and buy her if she's really nice and speaks to you. I have the ability to help you with the IP and the A/C if you can't source the parts closer to home. Wipers might be another story, but I know a guy who can find obsolete dealer inventory if you want to see if the bell crank is available to duplicate Bob's repair.

I don't really hate the skirtless look, as long as you keep the 22's off her. There is a guy in OH that can help you get the brackets if you want them that bad.

The car has been repainted. Underneath is another story.

BTW, both doors are missing the lenses for the courtesy lamps.
Marty has lenses but they are not cheap.
 
When I worked for a Grocery warehouse as a trailer mechanic I had an old International just like this one as a yard goat.

Stan what lead you to this conclusion just curious..

The contrast between the exterior and under the hood is too extreme to be natural. I'm also very skeptical of the images. When you see jagged lines where they should be straight that means the photochop enhancing was pushed to the max.

I'm starting to move over to Stan's camp on this one. If you look carefully at the photo of the open driver's door, you can see what looks like rust stains on the edge of the door above the upper hinge. It also looks like there is paint overspray on the trim and screw head in that same area.
 
I think Welder Guy should have another look at it. When you are inspecting a car for someone else, instead of yourself, you tend to be more discriminating. He might see a lot of things the second time that he didn't notice before.
 
All Formal pictures are deceiving....

My NYB was a crap box when I got it yet I could take pictures of it and you couldn't see most of the flaws.

Another thing with this car....I think the antenna doesn't work either. It looks like its half way up.....or down. Most of the time when I see a Formal, the antenna is either all the way down or all the way up.
 
I would love to see a picture of the bottom of the rear quarters....
