Would you do it?

It's do-able but it's not "worth it."  Not even by the standards of the old car hobby, where a car becomes "worth it" when you only spend 1.5 times its value during the resto instead of 2-3 times.

More likely a dreamer who doesnt know what they are getting into will pick it up. I leave those cars to them (and wish them the best of luck with it).

NO way to far gone !

If it were really close to home and for a really low price I'd pick it up. (That aint gonna happen where I live anyway....)

If you have room to store it and not the only car you have i think it might be something you can work on on and off over a longer period.....

No way... That car is only good for a hand full of driver quality parts or as someone else mentioned someone looking to fake an RT from a 318 car.

When I built mine, it was complete and not much rust and I still had over 26K and 4.5 yrs. invested. Moving forward, I wouldn't touch another project like that unless it's something very rare. (A Unicorn so to speak)

as long as all the frame rails, rad support, inner rockers don't need replacing and the springs are not threw the trunk i'd go for it. Biggest resto i saw was a 72 6 pack roadrunner at a show. Was a pic of the car when they started and then pics cutting it down. At 1 point the car consisted of the 2 rear frame rails on a table and they started from there with donor parts. I was amazed the gaps were as good as they were. Not perfect but pretty good for a guy doing it in his back yard. I give him credit for going threw all of that instead of putting the vin on a rust free satellite.
i think they used the inner roof, and part of the rear frame rails were capped.

I know its essentially a re-body, but personally a rare car like that I'd rather see it done like this

TFG= TOO FAR GONE!

doesn't look to bad to me. Wish i could get a hold of a car that good to start with

I guess I need to put my junk on e-bay. My 500 Clone project is in WAY better shape than that one, and I can't even get a nibble on it:
