Seen on eBay. Can that engine number be right? It was listed that way in the ad, but they don't say whether it comes from the plate or not.

Ad reads:

A great candidate for restoration, has been stored in-side for many years. This vehicle has covered headlights, a CA title, lap-style seat belts, two fans installed, Clarion AM/FM stereo and cassette equalizer booster, radio antenna on rear fender, front nerf bar off and comes with the car, rear nerf bars installed, and matching numbers on engine and frame rail. The top bonnet fender beading has been removed and covered up. The back window of the convertible top is torn, small dent in the front of the bonnet, checking on top fender near the boot lid. We have not started the vehicle and the engine turns freely.

In our opinion, by completing the following services and possibly some unknowns, this vehicle could be put on the road without a great deal of expense.

Fuel system: Rebuild carburetors; clean and flush the gas tank; Inspect, clean, replace, repair, or rebuild fuel pump, inspect, clean and flush fuel filter Inspect and replace hoses as needed

Brake system: Inspect all components, replace brake fluid, rebuild or replace as needed

Cooling system: Inspect, flush, pressure test, replace thermostat, repair or replace other parts and hoses as needed

Electrical system: Inspect and service, install a new battery

Engine check: spark plugs & wires, points, condenser, timing, possible valve adjustment, check engines vital signs while running

Undercarriage and suspension: inspect and service, repair or replace as needed

Fluid check: change oil and filter, change transmission fluid, check rear end fluid

Miscellaneous: Professional tires inspection for road safety, lubricate as needed, etc.
