1968 2002 on eBay: Restorable?

[Conserv]

If the VIN listed is correct, 1661996, this car is a bona fide 1968 model year 2002, i.e., manufactured before September 1968:

That makes it rare.  I'm not saying it's easily restorable.  As a matter of fact, I'm not even saying its restorable.  And I'm certainly not opining on the $2,000 Buy-It-Now price.  I'm just saying it's from that initial short year of 2002 production, and there are not many of these left.  I'm guessing it originally was a Granada car, with much of that remaining.  The list of included parts suggests it might still have a long-neck differential, albeit not mounted. And with two rusty engines, you've got twice as many chances to have an original one!
