85 GSL-SE on ebay

Can any of you experts take a good look at this car on ebay? Its has supposedly 56K miles on it but it looks like it has been repainted at one one and has a lot of other weird things about it such as a replacement exhaust that looks pretty crappy..

Im interested in your thoughts..
Thanks

Looks pretty legit.
Would like to see the car run and drive in person though.
Saw that it was missing a side market lens cover and some minor but fixable body work.

I saw this car on eBay also. Looking at the pictures and videos, the paint is not as great as it appears. Also, there are some dents that aren't very evident because of the white color. One of the front fenders near the front valence is dented. Being from Canada, I'd like to see the under carriage.

Ya, to me the car looks like its been repainted. The bumpers don't even come close to matching. The paint that is cracking on the bumper says repaint. The exhaust has been changed. The power antenna is missing and the carpet looks like it was damp and moldy. Being that the car is from Washington, I would imagine it was pretty damp
The rear carpet over the spare tire shows sun fading

i ran a car fax on it and it has literally not changed mileage in over 10 years. My guess is that it sat and sat and sat for years outside.

Did these cars come with pin striping?

Also, whats with the metal brackets that are on the top of the rear hatch glass?
