There were some Alfas where people noticed the wrong washers under some bolts or something like that. Amazing stuff. If anything, what I've noticed is a herd mentality where if something doesn't add up people start piling up with a vengeance, sometimes picking on inconsequential or fairly irrelevant stuff.

I'm not picking on anything. im asking questions about a used car. Simple stuff like like details of any accident damage, the actual number of previous owners, what was actually done to the car since the seller acquired it. Some of the OP's comments in the thread ironically suggest i should not do that. As if asking concise questions about a used car was in some way wrong.
It's all moot now thanks to the broader Porsche community and the sellers video i have a very complete picture of the car. I love the colorway but the purchase cost added to the cost of its needs far exceeds its value. I believe you could find a better rebuilt example with a cleaner history for mid 60's
