May be buying his mistake, the description is short and a little strange too.
If you look at the front view of the engine something funny's going on with the pinch weld at the top of the cowl on the driver's side. The trim at the bottom of the windshield is loose on the driver's side, screws aren't there, few other things. It could have been in a wreck but you never know until you see them up close and personal. I could be totally wrong but but my spidey senses are tingling.

I have to go to church now and ask the priest to translate that Latin after the first two words Jamesbo.

I don't know, I've got a bunch of A-body cars and the pinchweld gets dinged up over the years. The car has obviously been repainted - look at the red primer on the screen on the cowl. I suspect you'll find welded trim holes on the front fenders, since the front end has been replaced. Yeah, it's probably been hit.
