Cowls get damaged and they make replacement VIN rivots for a reason.
If I have a common convert GTO basket case with no matching numbers, but intact title and most parts, can I remove my rusted out cowl, restore it, then combine two or more car's parts and make a driver--and still feel okay about the car?

Sure, why not? I wouldn't have a problem with buying it that way either.

Car looks really rusty, it would all depend on how bad it really is in person, to be the "Judge" of it. interior pics don't show if the floorpans are "gone'' or not, or if the frame is toast. being it a rare color combo and matching drivetrain, if the cowl area and frame, drivetrain, are useable,fixable, it would be worth restoration, however, at the current price you better have a good income and restoration skills to tackle this project!
