If one considers a 'driver restoration' route for this one, it would be a good candidate.
With a comprehensive approach to rejuvenating the body, interior and mechanical, you'd be looking at $12-15K all in. This would include the purchase price of the car and my labor.
Someday this will seems like an excellent price!

$4,500 is the asking price?

I suspect that Shark prices have peaked, and will only continue to increase as a function of inflation.
As evidence: Consider the 914. It was never well-liked by the P-Car faithful and despite low production numbers (120k) and age (40 years!), it's easy to find good examples at reasonable prices.
That all being said: those low production numbers are going to become critical in the not-too-distant future. It's time for some enterprising, long-sighted individual with some ready money, some acreage, and a trailer to start buying cheap basket-case Sharks and putting them on blocks. These cars may never command easy six-figure prices, but there will always be at least some demand for parts.
YMMV...
