"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.
