Regarding the paint… first of all, not even the wheels on that car are original so that automatically casts doubt on any claim of authenticity. Second, I can see a seam where the passenger front fender meets the hood and also the heater core is painted body color and that doesn’t just happen by accident.

Yeah, I was also looking at that front fender close-up picture. The orange peel is very prominent... I was trying to convince myself it was dust or a visual effect... Also, the air filter is painted the body color, so there was definitely some artistry going on, at some point.
The seller is either clueless, or full of it. Looking at those "flat tire outlines", the car was in storage. The mileage could also be on a "second wind"

The air cleaner you can just yank off so I don't pay much attention to that, but no one removes the heater core unless doing some serious work in that area and/or if it is leaking. Getting the hoses off is a pain.
