While trolling CL on my lunch hour. And I was just in Knoxville last week! Post has been up 3 hours as of the time of this posting. Not sure what the owner is willing to trade for it.

Wow, that is an early car. Strange that they say they arn't interested in selling, just trading right now? Did you get a load of those side marker lights? Looks like they came of a trailer or something. I suspect several things have been "worked over" on this car.

You're probably right. I see a passenger side mirror that shouldn't be there too...

There's something not right with the side molding, too... looks painted on, rather than the original extrusion.
Side mirrors look like the ones from my 70 Ford LTD.
Primer'ed front, or is that a reflection?
Nice early car but I'd bet it would take some doing to get her back to "showroom original."
No engine bay picture is usually a really bad sign, too.

plus the battery charger sitting next to the car!

those mirrors are probably off that 90's mustang, 70's ford and 90's ford are basically exactly the same....
