Thanks so much everyone -

I certainly don't expect a 45 year old car to not have a few (or many) problems - and it looked like a 198,000 mile car to me.

Jim - thanks for all the real-world advice - to me it really looks like it has been hit front passenger side - hood is slightly kiltered - the front center emblem is cocky - front passenger side headlight cover has been pushed back. I wonder if it took enough damage to have hurt the v-brace and that is why it is missing. All your other advice is well noted too!!!

Baz - two words - Gabriel Highjackers...oh, maybe some traction bars, Crager Keystones - 9" on the rear... smile...

Price did seem high at $10,900 for a lo-optioned 390 car - I was thinking more in $7,500 range a'la Steve/Angela. Although, I rather like lo-optioned cars, far less to deal with when restoring.
