I wish the description contained a bit more information. Not registered since 1971, but appears to be a very complete car. Seller says "Engine and Carbs professionally rebuilt, and not installed." I assume they mean that the engine is not in the car, and the way it sits high in the front seem to confirm that.
It's intriguing to me that it appears that this car could be made into a "driver" without extraordinary effort.

Look at the rust on the dash
This car not driven and sat for 46 years will need everything. Dried up and leaking seals.

No doubt this car would require a million little things, but assuming the engine has been professionally rebuilt as stated, I bet I could get it back on the road and make it mechanically sound for less than $5,000. Then I'd drive the wheels off of it.
For some reason, I have this fantasy of a driver 300F or G. More likely, someone will buy it for a restoration project.
The rust on the dash is weird. It does make you wonder. On the other hand, The dash pad looks remarkably intact.

Couple of guesses on the dash rust - obviously everyone thinks possible water leak at the windshield. Other possibilities - habitual placement of objects on the dash that damaged the paint and allowed corrosion once the car was left to sit, and related to that possibly damage to the paint due to the dash structure being loose and vibrating, or damage during dash R&R - as you said the dash pad is remarkably nice . . .
