Default body alignment issue

i have just purchased a nearly new (500 miles) Lone Star and of the few jobs I need to handle one of them is to re-align the body.

It is not a massively noticable issue but looking from the front I see that the body is about .5 to 0.75 inches too much towards the drivers side when comparing the position of the outer edge of each tyre compared to the fender lip, from the front.

At the back the car is the opposite, more tyre showing on the driver's side than the passenger side.

This either indicates that the body is mounted in a skewed fashion (is this possible?), the body has flexed or the suspension setup needs some form of alignment.

Has anyone come across this before and how easy is it to remove/re-attach the body. The previous owner seemed to think it was inadvisable to remove the body?
