Distributor is setting in place with lid loose, water pump and fan are on the right front floor, rear axles are out and laying on the right front floor, and the right aft brake drum is missing. I do not know the seller.

Speechless is a good word, I've seen the WC Ambu done out like this, still a tough pill to swallow. However it does remind me a the work vans from Dodge & Ferd (think 61 Econoline) wasn't that crazy about them either.
