We have a 77 930 at work - same exact dash with the same exact issues. Gauge hood flattened out, front edge curled, gap where it meets the door tops is bigger at the top. Ours is leather wrapped and I thought the leather shrinkage is what did the warping. I wouldn't be surprised if this had the same issue so they skinned it. Door tops are green and the dash is not - maybe another clue.
Carpet also looks the same - ours is made out of gold teddy bears or something. I think the green is fantastic!
If you have to have an OGM Carrera 3 I guess you could hold out for another? Kidding, of course.
I would have the conversation over the phone - "Hey, I'm a serious buyer, but don't want waste a trip. I know this car has needs just looking at it on the computer, top dollar for me as I can tell through a screen is XX,XXX. Do you think we could work something out if I see it in person and fall in love?" If you get it, expect a full restoration eventually.. Make sure you can enjoy it in the meantime.
