Seattle-area Pelicans - Anyone familiar with this car?

Hey to all you Pelicans in the beautiful Seattle area. I'm looking at a '76 Coupe that is on your local Craigslist. Do any of you guys know this car?

https://seattle.craigslist.org/est/ctd/d/coupe-ready-to-drive-and/6219403149.html

I'm looking for a nice middie and this one was forwarded to me by a buddy of mine in the area that isn't really familiar with the cars.

I'd love to know if anyone here knows the car and some of its background. I've spoken to the seller (it's at a place called Wild About Cars Garage) and their answers have been a bit general and not as detailed or as reassuring as I would like. I've attached a picture of the car in its current state (lots of graphics) and how it looked without them in the next post

TIA!

If you don't get any responses, you can try the guys at Chris's German auto. It looks like they helped dial in the carbs and might be familiar with the car. They're legit.

Thanks for the suggestion Kyle. That's a great idea. I'm glad to hear that they're a solid shop.

Anyone else happen to know this car or the guys over at Wild About Cars Garage?

Thanks!
