It's hard to be sure about something like this from a distance, but 
the rust you have described sounds both typical and rather serious. 
coupled with the engine problem, I'd be hard pressed to spend as 
much as $1000 for it. The pristine interior is certainly appealing, but 
I think this car has some real body repair ahead of it. The fact that 
some of this has already been done is a sign that it really is worse 
than it looks.

I'd be careful, but it really would be nice if someone who cared 
would bring this notch back to life.
