I would definately purchase it. For that money, you could save it for a parts vehicle for a future project. It honestly doesn't look that bad. Worst case senerio part it out and make money.

Yeah i got it today. It isn't that bad at all. I'm going to build it and i'll keep you guys updated. Main thing i need right now is a radiator and power steering pump to get it running again and movable then i'll work on cosmetics. And it would be nice to do a lift and replace the springs since there bad. Any cheap solutions. I know theres a junkyard parts list. whats the best springs i should look for. Should i get them off a Ford

I would start with a compression test, before dumping any money into it.

Compression is good . It actually took me longer to pick it up then it did for me to put it back together. Only things i need now are fan shroud, and a gray drivers seat.
