I just spent an hour looking at the car and taking it on a test drive. Jason is right, this is not a car for a purist. The auto has been replaced with a 4-speed, the 289 has been replaced with a 302, there is a monster sway bar on it, as well as GT rear panel with GT tips. It also has a Flowmaster exhaust and the front and rear have both been lowered an inch or so. All very tastefully done. Oh, yes, and it was originally gold, now painted black. The paint is nothing less than perfect.
The wrinkle on the passenger inner fender is not as bad as it appears in the photo. I'm not sure what it is all about but there doesn't seem to be any damage to the frame or inner supports. The only thing that bugs me is that the scripts on the driver's side don't quite line up as they should. You can see the misalignment in one of the photos.
All in all, from what I can tell, it's a great car.
Oh, from how I understand it the whole Japan thing is that a Japanese business owner wanted to display the car in his building, on a platform, but couldn't get the building department to go for it.
