It'd be nice to have as a conversation piece but
 

Not many people can say they have an 800k mile anything but I'm having trouble justifying $3 or $4k for it before repairs.

Wow.
It made it that far only to end up there? Sad. I am amazed at the millage that these cars do. Condition should be the rule of thumb, not miles IMHO.

I think the Salvage Title would be the biggest issue for me.
Otherwise the condition is all that matters, as stated above.
I doubt there are any maintenance records; it would be nice to know what was done to the engine, and when.
The engine and its compartment sure could use some good cleaning...
How is the inside?

the speedo probably went bizerk and racked up 500K miles instantly.

How much for just the speedo?
