IMHO, pride-of-ownership, in any car, depends on what you do with the 
car, in driving, or in
showing/displaying  it.

If you're just going to drive it around town, and go out to dinner in 
it, it probably will
give decent service, as-is (maybe...).

If you're going to take it to any shows/meets, OTHER than to where any  
FWDLK'ers gather, it might
also get some oohs and aahs, from Chebbie-philes/hot-rodders.

The white paint and white leather interior will also hold up to summer 
sun and heat.

If I were prepared , definitely,  to sink  another $2-$3K on restoring 
its interior, and maybe re-painting it to its OEM
color(s), and IF the car could be bought for less than about $20k, I 
might be interested in this car,
with its aftermarket wheels (which I probably also would try to sell, 
and to retrofit with the OEM style wheels).

Restoring the engine compartment is fairly straight Forward(look).

Of course, there's also the 'slight' question as to how WELL the car 
might run and operate!!!

I would prefer to buy a car from a long-term owner, than from a Dealer.
