There is so much work there it would cost far beyond the restored value to fix all that rust. Things like door bottoms, for example, would have to be fabricated. Not only that, when rust is that extensive, the potential for getting it all and cleaning up the existing metal is near impossible.

The interior is leather and overall the car is in way above average condition. Perhaps seller can email or text a video to prove that it CAN start/run. Possibly a fuel pump, coil, or dirty injectors. Worst case scenario it needs a new drive train but those are easier to find than a decent
