Looking closely at the pictures, it appears the rockers, dogleg and above the fender skirts that usually have evidence of rust or body work look to be very good, show no indication of such. An in-person inspection would be best.
Interestingly, the cowl and door jams show it was originally Matadore maroon metallic, similar to the red on it now. Few of the multiple 200's that appear for sale now are in this color.
If it has overdrive, it could be a great driver.

Ross, thanks for confirming it has overdrive, makes this 200 Deluxe even more desirable. Replace the Egyptian hood ornaments on the rear fenders with the chrome fins that became optional for all 200 and 250 models late in the '52 model year same the '53 Clippers had. Two 22nd-23rd Series owners would be delighted to get those Egyptian ornaments for their cars.
