I e-mailed the seller and received this info:

 The car is in my son's name and he has owned since it was new.  I 

have all the papers filled out and signed he still lives on Hornby Island.  It 

is from Vancouver and Hornby Islands.  The hood, headlights and front 

fenders were replaced as a result of the accident.  The engine has a new 

crankshaft, new camshaft (RV), all new bearings, lifters etc.  The reason 

that the engine had to be rebuilt was that the crankshaft had failed, from 

my understanding it's not an uncommon problem with the original 

crankshafts. As far as the underbody is concerned it looks to be in very 

good condition. The only serious blemish that I know of is the from 

bumper which I did.  It rolled down the driveway and hit the tow hitch of 

my truck, I'm told it is very repairable and probably in the $200 range.    I 

can get more pictures but they will reveal little as the front and rear 

baggage compartments are in fine shape.  There is some mildew stains 

on the headliner because I left it out for part of the winter and the heater 

got unplugged for a month or so. It is not insured at this time but I could 

get some daily insurance if you're going to be over this way.

The car is in Cobble Hill on Vancouver Island.
