To buy or not... 73 450SLC

[ngarover]

Im a glutten for punishment so talk me out of this car...

The good-

One owner car.
76,000 original miles
Built date verified '73

The bad-

-Been sitting in garage since 1989.

-Gas tank rusted out. (They have not tried to start the car yet) But tank is out and has hole in it from rust.

-Sitting outside now, trunk seal leaked so quarter panels filled with water, not rusted but has ruined the carpet etc.

-Seats need full redo. All of them including the bad, due to owners dog. and age.

- Carpet shot.

Obviously, will need major work, rubber replaced everywhere, Fuel lines, etc.
See green on bottom of radiator...old leaking?

Little rust starting at drivers jack point in floor.

Car has been repainted, over spray.

Can buy it for 1500 Not sure if it's worth more than a parts car.
