Hello

Hard to say from a remote view. if i translate your description to german and we talk the same language i would rate it as good-fair buy.
The most important thing is a rustfree condition. The batterybox is always showing how tidy the owners where but the battery technology made some small steps forward in the last 50 years. ( OK not a real step but they don´t "sweat" anymore ).
A missinvestment with rust under the skin ist the major desaster to your bankaccount.

Mechanicas can be fixed for a fair price or restored. The older the car the rarer the spares.
Interiour is very expensive if done right. But modern hides are a good compromise.

If this is the 57 in Willits, you will have a ton of rust to deal with. Make sure you check it out well.
