I'm trying to figure out if this is all OEM (apart from the engine swap). What do the eyes of the experts spot with this guy?

Without seeing it for myself, I cannot testify about its originality, however I can tell you that its VIN is a genuine US Carrera. The owner added the power mirrors (never available in '74) and VPC A/C which is dealer-installed air conditioning. Flares & ducktail were standard for these cars.

I've owned one of these cars for 42 years.

This car has been for sale for over a year- probably the 3rd or 4th time I have seen it on ebay. Typically bidding tops out @ the 38k range.

If I remember correctly - the the underneath doesn't look so hot ( rust)

No longer available for sale. Lets see if we see it again

Chances for head stud issues are real. '74 through '89 cars must prove they are in good shape. The last 2 SC's I've owned had them done due to failure.

Just for clarity, the '74-'77 2.7 engines do NOT break their head studs as they are steel. These mag-cased engines are simply prone to pulling the threads out of the case that anchor them due to excessive heat and poor oil temp control. Installing Case Savers & a good oil cooler makes these engines better than new and quite durable.

The aluminum-cased engines OTOH, do not pull the threads out of the case; these have the Gen 1 Dilavars which were prone to failure due to corrosion. Thankfully, the Gen 2 Dilavars (993TT) do not suffer the same fate and are the preferred solution for the 3.0-4.0 engines.
