1969 220d for $2800. Is this car a good, fair, or decent buy?

Went and looked at this car 2 days ago.
I was hoping to find a car that is better off than the one that I have.

The seller stated that there was one notable rust spot that had been fixed, by the shop that operates the location before these people took over.

I got there, and saw that there seems to be a bit more to it.
I don't think it is all that bad, but, I am looking for opinions.

The good:
Runs seemingly quite well.
Drives pretty well.
Feels solid.
Looks PRETTY solid.
I can make payments on the car.

The bad
The rust repair was barely half assed (In the pictures)
The transmission does a wierd thing (I don't think it s slipping but i am not sure.
The bottom of some of the doors have some rust.

The floor pan undercoating is coming off, but it looks like there is only surface rust underneath it.

I may be able to convince the shop owners to let me put the car up, and sand blast the undercarriage, and re undercoat the car.

The guys seem to be pretty stand up, and even offered my brother a job while we where there.
