"The odometer count might turn some away, but with a new, upgraded motor it isn’t as much of a concern as it might otherwise be. " For a rebuilt engine with less than 1500 Miles, I'd hope the fuel lines were replaced at time of install. Hoses at the fuel pressure regulator look like they might be older than 1500 miles. The boot on accel cable is toast. Is that heater hose at the ISV to throttle elbow intake? Is the inline oil breather hose heater now plumbed to the ISV hoses? Non op PS, rear wiper and no fridge? The awing looks like a tarp, I'd be curious of possible body work at passenger side. IMO, at nearly $30K CND BIN, the body should be nearly or completely rust free with no major accidents. And, that engine should c/w a transferable warranty though I imagine that isn't going to happen.
