WIW Opinions on a 69 Dart GTS.

Re the comment about "hillbilly things": What is the big hose on the left of the carb? Looks like it has a valve or regulator in the line? What's the "T" in the gas line? Where does the 2nd hose go? There is nothing holding the battery in. Grille is painted wrong. Underhood wiring looks hillbilliy-ish too, a mess. If you're gonna paint a fake GTS stripe at least center it on the marker light! That's just ugly/wrong. If it matters, '69s never came with Rallye wheels. I might pay $12K for it if it runs really good, and actually has no rust.
