1965 Barracuda 273 4 speed

Update:
I have installed a new master cylinder, new brake hoses, 4 new Brake cylinders, new shoes and new kits on all four wheels. Drums freshly turned, and discovered that the rear brakes are the rare and desirable 10" rear drums (and drivers side also has right hand thread lugs on rear wheel, why???)
I have drained and flushed the gas tank and lines, will crank it when it comes down off the rack this week.
I will be putting in a new battery and positive battery cable (will still have the faux green top battery cover)
Found a few blemishes (dents) in the rear passenger side valence and small sent in passenger rocker. None is visible unless on a rack.
Also, discovered the transmission is a more modern overdrive unit with slip joint instead of original ball and trunion unit.
I have done more work, however I have lowered to a new price of $17,500 or make me an offer.
I need to get as much money back from this investment as i can to put in a reserve savings due to job loss.
Thanks,

David

Front end needs rebuilt and will do this should car not sell in the auction. It will be a total rebuild, with a PST kit.
