Crack pipe, definitely.  First off, I doubt the story.  It is a VERY nice
car, but the seatbelts and coolant hoses do not look correct to me.  They
certainly don't match the what I believe to be original parts on my '76.
Not 100% sure it they are factory, but my '76 also came with UNLEADED FUEL
ONLY sticker on the body near the gas filler.  I was told that it was
original but it may have been a dealer installed item for US sold cars.
Second, I woudl want to see the BMHT certificate to see if the dealer where
it was found matches the destination.  Then I'd want to run CARFAX on it to
see if it really was ever titled.  True story, my '76 was not titled (under
it's "VIN") until 2009 when I bought the car.  The title that I got form
the seller had a typo and did not match the car.  We traced it back all the
way to the original dealer, it was wrong from day 1.  So when I corrected
the problem (long story there) it looked like it had never been titled.
