Water under the bridge I guess, looks like it’s sold now.

It's not always that simple. Years ago I had a '68T I was selling. I knew little before my ownership. When I went to sell it the buyer sent in professional to do a PPI on it and inspect it. We both looked it over together. We didn't see anything.
The buyer gets the car shipped to LA and starts teardown for bare metal windows out respray. Then it became obvious it had been hit on the driver side and poorly repaired. But paint on the car we couldn't tell. It was a bad repair, but even a bad repair can be good enough to be invisible.
