Not nearly enough info to decide. I'm weird, but I would have to pull it out of there and get under it and crawl around for while. What's the engine bay look like?
Just based on what you show, I would keep looking. I don't have that much time in my life. I like projects, but that's more than I would want to deal with. Each to their own. And I have seen really bad cars brought back to amazing condition. But not my desire. Some cars....they need to pay you to take the project over !!!

honestly the care does not look bad, it could be worse and have a strosek or 959 kit lol.
interior inset horrible, the car will be a project and can come out very nice, there should be like no rust because it looks like theres fiberglass. 1976 was the first year the body was galvanized so if it has some panels from there and above should be no rust.
i think that would be a nice project, if you keep it. a flip woudlent really be a good idea. as time goes on you'll see how much money goes in.
a fair price would be 12-15k, retail lets say eBay- gullwing- east LA aka beverly hills auto club would ask 20k-
my personal limit would be 15k because i know how much crap adds up.
a long hood RS creation would be nice- or anything you like- if you do some work yourself and not looking concurs figure 40-45k total- that includes the 15 k you spent on the car.
you may be able to sell some parts off it.
i also came to air cooled porsche from vintage muscle cars- 71 chevelle, nova, 86 mustang notch with a 460ci and a blower.
its like driving a go-cart on the street.
Also i swear by M&k exhaust- headers and good muffler reduce weight 50lbs and make a huge difference

I agree its fun buying something you can modify into something that's yours.
my car was a targa cut into a convertible and updated to a 993 widebody.
Would I do that to a red targa he'll no. But someone else did. So I bought a project to make my own.
4 years later its all sorted out and done. But now its being taken apart and painted lamborghini orange (aracio borealis) for the next 6 months and changing the top to black 993 style currently blue.
All chopped up non original but i don't feel bad messing with it.
I think this car would be a good project for you if its a good price go for it.
Ive had several muscle cars big block chevys etc no mopar
but I.do favor small block ford.
Headers and exhaust make a big difference. So would carbs and a cam.
