I really wanted it, so it was mine for $500 cash. It actually ran, needed a bunch of work, but drove it home 22 miles in city traffic.
I just got it where you can drive it safely (well, mostly) today. Here's some pics. I don't want to change it's appearance in any way, just make it a decent driver.
Here's what it looked like when I bought it:
