It is nice looking for sure but not so original. Valve covers are the wrong colour (unless it is a trick of the digital camera) and of course the radio was changed. I would like to see a pic of the warranty plate and frame vin to confirm authenticity. Seller is not fully knowledgeable as the console was a Falcon not a Mustang and dash pads were optional across the board on any model trim of truck

The original gold valve covers do fade out to exactly like this truck looks. I've seen pictures of other original 1965 352 engines and the valve covers look the same or worse. The gold didn't hold up real well after many heat cycles and a few years.
