Found a '67 230 fintail stick shift

I have seen this sitting outside a "shop" for a few years; had dinner with a lovely friend so we took a short walk and looked it over; all I know is interior is complete and looks to be in fair to good condition; original radio, solid dash; given the rocker rust I assume the floors are gone; trnk is not rotted out shock towers are good from that view; gkass is good bumpers not so good; body fair to rusted in small areas; owner says it runs and drives which I have yet to witness; I will likely make an offer on it, not to restore but just to drive; hate to see it sit there; so, I would enjoy thoughts as to ithers purchases relating to a 67 230? I know it is worth what two consenting adults agree it is; what are other thoughts. Thanks

Without knowing more, sounds like a $500-750 car.

If it's not been well taken care of, there's a lot of work getting it back to a proper state. If you just want to have fun, service the brakes and go.

They really are fun to drive.
