I am very close in closing a deal for this '65 coupe for about 7K. I recently showed this pic to a friend of mine who is a classic car nut and he told me I should look into something. As you can see, the hood is lifted higher in the back than where it closes in the front. He suggested that this could be frame damage, but after searching here I think it's possible the hood is just misaligned. The grill bars, chrome rocker panel, and under bumper strips are taken off, because the PO bought new fenders for the car. There is a small rust hole in the passenger side fender. He also mentioned something about the headlights pointing down, but I have no idea about that just thought I'd ask here, if a misaligned hood is a huge problem and could indicate damage beneath or it doesn't take more than some new hood hinges and some force.
I sent the owner an email asking about this, and I contacted Bel-Kirk Mustang Restoration (reputable shop in my area) for a pre-purchase inspection. Thanks for any help, and I hope this isn't a big problem.
