Where are the side post battery cables?
MANY of us know they are NEAR IMPOSSIBLE to find an original set with delco eyes.
Wrong MC - rad cap - later style upper alt bracket -
If not mistaken the intake bolts are wrong, the carb return spring is in the wrong place and is also wrong.
This car is not nearly original as Skips 21k mile hugger orange late 69Z.

hood is likely a production hood as I caught a glimpse of the date stamp on the video, drivers side right near the edge by hinge area. But is it to this car, it depends on that stamp.

IF the hood is not a date match to the car, then the car has definitely been painted more than once. Maybe it was a drag car which could explain the odometer.

I'm sure this is the car Buxbaum owned. I made the mistake of thinking it had 400, rather than 200 miles. The car had a flat hood, and the doors off color.
I'm sure the car was repainted. At the time, if the original paint wasn't perfect to win a $20 trophy, and bragging rights, it was repainted.

The Nova Buxbaum wanted trade for, is now owned by Mark - BlackL78M22Nova, from this site. The Nova had 11,000 miles, and only used 1 year before the owner passed on.
