One of the comments was a person asking for pics of the pan and underside.

I would think the listing would have those so kinda fishy.

That said......I bought mine sight unseen from an eBay ad that only had a few photos and got a fantastic buy. It had only been listed a few hours in the early morning hours and I knew I had to strike quickly before someone else placed the first bid. I bought in with the BIN feature. Got very lucky there....but also used my spidey senses.....

BTW....there were some photos in the glove box of the car on a rotisserie in it's original paint so at some point the underside was repaired.

The cold start video was interesting because I was very familiar with a '65 SC owned by a doctor next door when I was 18 or so. It didn't start anywhere near that smoothly and it was brand spanking new. Snotty little motors with a bit of a cam sound (lumpy idle — just).

That one was black over red and it was really sexy. He traded in a Ferrari. Probably the biggest mistake ever, but he got the reliability he needed for a daily.
Same combo as the one my Dad bought back in the mid 60's. It was a real beauty!
