Could be, the glass looks OEM. Fabric looks like my Robbins roof, the original was more vinyl-like.

But the roof is the least of the worries on this car...

I'm not the expert that some of the others here are, yet my personal opinion would be to pass on this car.

I know if any fuses get blown I'm going to have to take the fender off, but I'm okay with that since I have some experience with body work and wiring.
Anythng that requires diagnosing. Faulty sensor or check engine light. Possibly the wires were tucked incorrectly. now you have to search for frayed wires or loose connections.
If the state of the car does not bother you. I say check the engine and transmission is in good shape. And wait a bit. The price of that car will drop.

Honestly man, it's like a 12-13k car. The mileage is irrelevant when it's been messed with like that.

Modifications can add value if they are quality, removable, in good condition, and it's a combination of what you want to get anyway.

All the thoughts that come to my mind have been elucidated well by these august forum members. I am in complete agreement you should pass and hold out for a much, much better specimen for the dollars this gentlemen is asking.
