A good example of buying a 70 Duster done rather than building one

So let's assume for a moment that it is an actual h code 340 Duster. The original post made mention to the price of building a car compared to one that is already partially completed. I would agree there are many flags that would have me really scrutinizing this car for it's authenticity. The door jamb repair really stands out to me and not in a good way. But you would be hard-pressed to buy a $5,000 basket case and bring it to the level of that car for less than $10,000 more and that is not including paint. A few body panels or fenders a 340 rebuild a few trim parts new tires and wheels and Bam you're there. While you're over halfway there.
