It might be a solid body, a good basis for an XY project, but that doesn't make it worth $300k.
If the post above is to be believed then it's had the tags removed, which makes the car unregisterable.

If, based on the shock tower, you can confirm that it was originally a HO, so what. It's not one now.
If you buy that car, and then acquire all the parts to rebuild it as a HO.
And I take a nondescript XY and add exactly the same parts and work, then what's the difference.

Don't get we wrong, I understand the rarity and iconic nature of a genuine HO. My point is that it isn't any more. Some idiot destroyed it.
It does state the the tags were bought back,so I presume they are with the car.Technically the tags can’t be removed,but it may take someone with superhuman eye sight to see that they had been pop rivetted back on.Most makes use only standard pop rivets.The harder ones are the early Holdens which used rivet type things which would be much harder to copy
