I agree with JD and Clipper47 particularly since you don't know the state of the engine and ultramatic. The interior resto must also be considered. So if you negotiate with the owner and settle at $2,000, you'll spend at least that for body work at shop rates. Add an engine rebuild ($3,000)and interior ($1,000 if you do it yourself)and you're up to 8 grand. You could probably find a good servicable driver for that amount and enjoy tinkering with it while driving it too.
