Anyone Familiar With This 442 for Sale

I reached out to the owner, he said the front floors are a little soft and there is some filler in the quarters and fenders. Also he can't tell if the motor is original as he can't read the VIN stamp pad on the block. Is anyone on the forum familiar with this car? It is located in Demotte, Indiana,

Well, let's hope this hood and bumper fitment isn't indicative of the quality in the rest of the bodywork...

I found an article on google about this car from 2012 that states the car was restored in 2005. If the body has held up this nice I would assume it has minimal filler. I talked to the owner today and he is going to send me some underside photos, and some of the problem areas. Seems like a really good guy just looking to flip a car he has enjoyed for a few years

The owner sent me a lot of pictures last night and although pretty, the bottom fenders need to be fixed, the trunk floor has had some repairs, and the drivers floors are soft. For 35K I think I am going to pass on it.. I sent my body guy pictures last night and he said it would be about 6K to fix the problems

Hood fitment looks good to me. That turn down is Stock factory to me.

X2=. Very typical. Not necessarily ideal, but typical.

That whole Drivers' side on the front looks funky. Fender out of alignment, bumper tweaked, etc. I believe that car has seen the inside of a body shop, and not just for paint.
