71 Malaga, sunroof, AC CSi on e-bay...WOW!

The door armrests don't seem to match the door upholstery in color, the interior door handles don't have the black inserts, and are oriented at about 70 degrees off from the correct orientation. The seat belt warning is on the dash exactly like this one in my '74. I honestly can't remember whether there was such a warning part on my '71 or '73. Wonder where the elephant skin covers are for the trunk floor. Is there a spare tire??? The sunroof doesn't seem to have the proper seal (should be grey 'fuzz". Lots 'off or questionable' that doesn't add up for the price.
 
Lots of issues here, including the VIN.
My 2 cents. At least one headlight cover missing. Wrong valve cover, crack in the dash, more cracks in the instrument shroud, speaker panel a different shade than the dash wood which appears to have flaw or knot( could be the photo) cuts in the door panel(s), tarnished chrome on seats and door panels, seam tear in driver's seat, C-elephant skin.

Plus two pages of serious concerns from board members who know much, much more than I do about our coupes. $65k, don't think so.

So let me jump on the band wagon on the topic of expectations of what should not be present on a 65k car IMO:
Pitting on tail light chrome
Dented and misaligned rear bumper
Peeled incorrect front badge
Odd sitting front bumper (almost looks like converted from US bumper but that would incorrect for a 71 right) - Look closely at the brackets... something off IMO
Aged front bumper horns
Oxidized belt line trim
Misaligned driver door
Non-fitting Alpina centers on non-Alpina wheels (Wheels are OEM of course)
Door seal rubber in not best shape
Inner grab handle chrome top gone and center support pitted
Mis-matched color of door card, handle and pocket
Poor fitting replacement wood work
Is that nails through the chrome trim on the door cards???
Geez align that interior handle and where is the black insert???
Split in driver's seat
Engine bay details... paint on suspension bolts, airbox condition, intake manifold finish, hose condition....
Careless respray of spare wheel well
Condition of elephant skin
Overspray onto trunk items
And that is based on images... what would it be like in real?

I may seem harsh and you can question getting into such details, but surely at 65k standards should be higher. That said, it suddenly increases that value of my own LOL. Considering some that have sold recently, I think this is currently a 30k car. I just think of dtortoise9's 3.0cs going for 35k and that was a sharp car....
 
plus what appears to be some shill bidding

Don't even get me started on that........... Watch out for "private auctions" too. They are the worst on Ebay for shill bidding, shouldn't be allowed in my opinion. Then you can't even see if they have "zero" previous bids. There is a guy here in SoCal that is notorious for that.
