I was actually considering buying one of those before I found out about the Diesel MBs. I was also considering getting a 1963 Oldsmobile 98

. And now, looking back, that would have been a good deal. It didn't appear to have any rust and they were asking $2000. Interior was good and it started and drove. Other than that, I can't speak for the engine or trans.
