I'll find out when I get it on the lift and do my inspection. Even if it has rolled over, it is still a solid car and runs well. The worst of the repairs is soft trim and maybe a windshield.
Welcome and outstanding find! I look forward to your restoration progress. As I mentioned in my PM, check with Kanter and Ames for your brake parts.
