What a bunch of BS. "With a heavy heart..."  Dude is trying to sell a car which he has done nothing to in at least 15 years, does not want to do any heavy lifting (meaning move it, get it running, nothing) yet wants running, driving #3 car money for it.  This kind of ad annoys me. 

[B Jake Moran]

What is worse - it is free to him. Dad passed it down to him to preserve and restore. With a heavy heart my arse...

I love how original this car is.  I don't doubt the seller doesn't want to sell it, given the price.

and no attempt to vacuum the inside, clean the mildewed upholstery and dashboard, etc.

I had the same model in similar condition, with factory air and CA black plates in running driving condition, which I sold for $5,500 a couple years back. He will be better off if he holds on to it.
