tie rod bent (may be optical illusion)
zip tie on brake lines
incorrect finish on hardware
ralley wheels
driver's seat belt
parking brake release is weathered
wrong shift knob
radio
SPID appears new but made to look old?
no rosette rivets on VIN plate
no side mount wheel carrier
zip ties on heater hoses
driver's front spring hanger stop strap - something's goofy, welded on in wrong place?
Wiper blades
tach is not on SPID
seat cloth doesn't match SPID
(sure there's more I missed)

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't throw it out of my garage. All of these items are minor. Except for the radiator/shroud/hose I'd just drive it. But for that price I expect more.
CPP brake master. Ugh.
