Opinions on this '68 Barracuda

I've requested some additional pictures and the seller said that he would send them to me Thursday. I know that the car has been posted before on Craigslist at the same price a month ago. His initial email said that he'd sell it for $7,000 since that's what he has in it.

If he can come down $500 without any negotiation, he still has some room to budge. Supposedly he's trying to buy a new house and if this is keeping him from doing that, he won't let my cash walk.

As long as there isn't a ton of rust or needed body repairs, its probably a good fit for me. My current Jeep I'm working on wasn't in terrible shape when I bought it, but I've rebuilt it twice in three years and you'd be hard pressed to find a dozen original parts on it. I like to make a vehicle my own.

Would I like it better if it didn't have some of this issues it does? Probably, but I might be spending extra on items I may end up replacing anyway. I enjoy a project and looking at before and after pictures. I get more out of spending a couple hundred/thousand dollars many different times than putting it into a complete vehicle. Maybe that's bad; maybe not.

If the additional pictures don't make me any more uncomfortable, I'll take a Saturday or Sunday to drive up there with a friend to take a look, perfectly willing to come home empty handed (save for the money I didn't spend).
