Looks pretty chewed up to me. That thing has been run hard, and I would expect that a lot of the components are pretty worn. And there ain't much body left there. The tires and wheels may be worth $700 in good condition, but those look pretty worn to me. I probably wouldn't touch it.
Also that garage is very Silence of the Lambs-esque. I know why the pit is there but the whole package is kinda freaking me out.

On second thought if you have a few hundred bucks burning a hole in your pocket, some good bargaining skills and a welder, might be some fun to just beat the snot out of it.
But for parts, it's still a resounding nope.

those aren't really long arms either. more like mid arms.
it does say "sitting on three 35's"
i would pass and move on.

"I decided to go a different route after I chopped it off."
I'm trying to figure out what route this guy was headed down in the first place. Looks like somebody got bored and went way too crazy with the sawzall.

if you look at the last pick it looks like the lower control arm is bent towards the upper mount on the chassis. not really worth what good parts could be left.
