worth taking a chance?

Looking at a 190D 1965. The car is baby blue. but it does not run. This is all the info I could get on it.

I haven't found any rust on the car. I've had it for about a year and a half and never drove it. The previous owner said he was driving down a hill on I5 south of Salem when pulling up the next hill it began to rattle or knock. He slowed down and got off of the freeway and limped it home. I put a battery in it but the starter doesn't seem to work. The engine turns over freely and I towed it down the driveway in gear, engine turned free with no noise and developed good oil presser. It could be a rod or maybe an injector.

Is it worth a chance at 1500?

thanks
