$1000 sounds like a good deal. Someone needs to save it!

missing the dual gate shifter and correct wheels, and like you say the emblems, but does have the black header insert. You checked the VIN? The VIN will be 3K47R9M+6 digit serial number. Should have an Olds 350/TH350 in it. With the rest of those parts missing I'd crawl under there and look for the big "350" cast into the block. Even if it is an actual H/O, you're looking at locating those parts to bring it back, especially that '79-only shifter. Good luck!

The car looks to be in good shape. I would buy it for $1000 whether or not it's authentic.
