I have to agree with Bart on this. Mainly a car like this would be a car for the wife or a daily driver for a die hard AMC guy or gal. But for the price and condition it might be worth it to the right person. Look how much money I put into my orange car in just mechanical repairs to make it a nice driver, never mind the interior work. Another thing a lot of people with an old car no matter what shape it is in thinks it is worth it's weight in gold.
