looks like a decent enough car, but none of the details that would make it an FI can be seen. You can see a high rpm tach, which could be 340 hp. You can see the pad stamp, but not clear enough for broach marks. Other problems include no cross over on the exhaust. Obvious items include only top shielding, brake vents painted body color,etc.
It looks okay for a driver. Certainly a long way from a show car or NCRS standards. It depends on what you want it for. Pricey to restore, not bad to have fun with.

from what i have been told this car might not be originally a fuelie. The engine has been restamped. Many other problems. The guy is wanting $85000 too much for that car.

I do not like that engine stamp either, but even a fake fuelie is still worth something. The parts alone to make a car that appears correct and in the condition the car appears to be in would probably make this a 40-50k car or so. The FI unit appears to be in good shape, and it must have an FI distributor, so these items alone are worth 6-8k. If it appears to be an original fuelie with a restamped engine, it could be worth more than 50k (IMHO).
85k should get a real fuelie, That car is going to eat up allot of money.
Also no jack in the pictures $$$. If the exhaust is wrong then the manifolds are most likely not real fuelie ones. The choke hole will be in it for a carb or welded. Try to find a fuelie exhaust manifold $$$. I can not tell if if has the correct oil pan. All those little items cost allot.
A 62 fuelie would most likely bring more money in parts on ebay than the complete car.
I have a 62 fuelie, frame-off restored for sale for $79,000. Listed on Craig's List at http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/car/579322637.html. I have consigned it to the Russo & Steele auction in Hollywood, Florida on March 28th and 29th. Check it out. Alan
