I've always loved the 66/67 Satellites.

$500 isn't bad for that. Just remember that you're looking at $20-$30K to get that car finished, from its current state. Depending on how much work you can do yourself, and there's a lot that needs to be done. Do you have an engine laying around? You'll need fenders, trunk lid, quarter panels or at least patches. How are the doors and hood? Looks like some front end damage, might wanna take a good look at what all that has affected. What about the underside? Bumpers, wheels & tires, interior kit, etc. None of it is cheap anymore. And don't forget paint.

But, there's another option. You could buy this and put $400-$500/month into parts and labor for the next few years. Or, find one that is finished and finance it. Pay $400-$500 every month to the loan. You start with a car that you can enjoy, and the cash outlay is the same, over time. Just a thought.
