Talk me out of this Euro 450SEL 6.9 please

My friend Bob recently shattered his collar bone and had to have surgery to correct it. I've been eying his rarely used 6.9 for over a year now, and to pay the bills he's finally ready to part company with it.

It is a true Euro with the bumpers lights, headlight washers/wipers, manual climate control, and even factory heated seats. Showing 59,xxx on the odometer, I imagine because it was imported used and a MPH speedometer swapped in. He recently replaced the rear accumulators (or whatever they're called on a 6.9) and the car sits and drives perfectly. It was an absolute BLAST! It takes nothing to roast the tires on this car.

Paint is about an 8 out of 10. It had been repainted at some point decently, but has some imperfections Came from Texas, and no visible rust anywhere. Interior 9 out of 10, the only blemish being the crack in the dash. Beautiful Nardi steering wheel and wood shift nob. Water is getting in from the shot front windshield seal. Also needs a new grill (blacked out rattle can style and faded) and hood star.

I could only find 2 things wrong with it. The AC compressor does not engage, and there is a leak from what looks like the lower oil cooler line, which spins in the fan and shoots everywhere. Not a bad leak, but certainly something that would have to be addressed right away. All the windows and electronics work, including the heated seats.
