Depends what you want to end up with.

I’d not want the granny low four speed if you intend to keep it somewhat as-is and makes it a driver.

Those rims are awful to me, ditto on making it an as-is driver.

That much surface rust means there’s most likely significant cancer most likely. It ain’t “patina” no matter what people tell you. That’s decades of neglect and abuse.

Plus the price is too high by a couple thousand at least. ESPECIALLY if you intend to put a different engine and/or trans, rearend in it.

If you intend to put IFS, lower it, new paint, yada, yada, it’s way too high priced to be a starting point.
