Doesn't this seem like a low price for a 1947 ? Aren't they kinda rare ?

The color choice is keeping the price down

It was one time posted as a '45. There are way too many things wrong on that car. The guy is just trying to dump it now.

Too many things wrong with that car. It's like that Johnny Cash song "One Piece at a Time", where he worked on a Cadillac assembly line and stole one piece at a time, and assembled the car at home with parts from many different years.
