Looks concerning to me. The metalwork is probably no more extensive than I did on mine. Rear 1/4s, Tail light panel, trunk floor, floorboards, aprons, crossmembers, fenders, bumpers, and frame rails.Very rough indeed - but not humanly impossible to restore...yet.
At any rate, it should make for a fine Dynacornmobile.

It ought to scare you - that's a 351 Windsor sitting in there.What scares me is a supposedly original car with the ram-air cleaner missing and standard valve covers. If everything is so original, why would those tell tale visual cues be gone?
That's like saying that you've found a virgin call girl. Doesn't exist. Just like factory-original Boss 351 Windsors. roflI was a little suspect of the listing using the words "unmolested" and "not sure if it is original or not" at the same time...
Heck, even yours looked better than this one when you dragged it home.Oh my... flashbacks to the Craigslist ad I answered 4.5 years ago (make it stop... make it stop... runs away screaming).
Look closely at the upper hose. It doesn't go straight down into the block - it connects parallel to the length of the car into the intake manifold.Yeah, no kidding. I actually think you're right, that this poor thing's worse off than mine was - my roof, hood, and doors weren't nearly as bad. I shudder to think of what the cowl looks like.
Are you sure that's a Windsor? The valve covers seem to suggest you're right, but the heater hoses still say Cleveland water pump to me.

That's also a 2-barrel Autolite 2100 sticking out through the air cleaner too - compare the choke horn casting:
