300E - does this sound like a deal?

From a local ad. I don't need a car, but thought I could fix this up for one of my kids. Does this sound like a deal? Thanks!

Description Mercedes Benz 300E 1987. Automatic 4-door. In-line 6 cylinder engine. 300 000+ km. Odometer is broken, but my mechanic read the mileage from the engine last year at 285 000 and the car was driven sparingly since. This a great car for a student or enthusiast looking for a project. Complete with records.
The bad: This car is currently not running. Needs new alternator, maybe new regulator as well, and fluids. Small crack in windshield that will not extend. Radio does not work
The good: Body is perfect - west coast car that has been kept in a garage. Battery one year old. $2500 worth of work last year (basic repairs). Two sets of tires included (snow tires at 80% but not on rims). This car is a tank that will last forever.
Not saftied. No e-test necessary because it is classified as an antique.
Asking $1000 OBO (No fair offer will be refused). Moving so must sell ASAP.
Trades welcome (furniture, electronics, bicycles).
Will tow car for free!
