Rear bumper chrome is very poor. Some dents, some rust, chrome peeling off.

Two front tires are fairly new (unused), the two rear ones are mismatched and cracked. New tires needed all around.

Things I know need to be done:
1.) service brakes
2.) new tires
3.) replace windshield (two large cracks in the center)
4.) replace shocks (car bounces excessively)
5.) replace all weatherstripping (doors, hood, trunk)
6.) replace headliner
5.) replace all fluids
6.) find a new air cleaner

The guy doesn't want to go lower than $6,500, but I don't think the car is worth that. Given the list of things to do, I don't know that the car is worth any more than $5,000. What are your honest thoughts and opinions on the car and a price?

It would definitely be a project, but one that seems to have a solid base (engine ran quiet and smooth, body is straight, didn't see any major rust).
