Unless you are "in love" I'd be putting my running shoes on.....sounds like a money pit.

Find something out west thats NOT as rusty....

It likely needs more metal replacement than the seller thinks. Once you get into a rusty car, you usually find a lot more lurking in panel overlaps and recesses. My first experience was replacing a trunk on a 68 Firebird. By the time I was done, just about every panel was replaced all the way to the cowl.

Tropical lime is a nice color; numbers matching is a bonus.
Try an offer closer to 5k.

If it needs a trunk floor it will need the sides of the trunk to & possibly the inner fender wells to. If the tail lamp panel is bad it probably need the 1/4's replaced to. If the trunk floor is gone the panel under the rear window is bad because it's been leaking , thats why the trunk floor is bad. So plan on from the door striker panel back. 12-15K to fix that. If you didn't take the engine to the machine shop & check in on them while in process, take the engine apart. He may be a good engine builder but if he's getting rid of it he may have just put it together just to do so to.
