Been thru this and glossy eyed before. In your opinion it might have desirability but the notch-back stang is the least wanted in collector circles. If you want it as a fun driver, you can buy a same equiped with a 289, clean condition in the $8 - 10k range today. Also, ebay is not the place to buy these cars but a good place to dump them. Find a car that has not been advertised to a wide audience and hopefully a complete or nearly done. Sorting it out and restoring it correctly, replacing parts (NOS or aftermarket) are priced way more than even a couple of years ago. Doing most of it yourself (so as to not add the cost of outside labor), mechanical, trim, interior and body will still run you up a tab over ten thou. Have you priced out out body supplies and paint lately?
If money is no object and its just a want to do something project, then make yourself happy. Not to insult the seller, but that car looks to be a $1k to $1,500 tops. I know its not the same vehicle but I recently purchased a 100% original (incl. paint), mint body 1972 t-bird w/ 429 c.i. stored on jack stands, with original docs incl. build sheet, etc. for $400. It needs some sorting and interior tidi-up but I'm sure I'll find $2k more into it.... and with me doing all the work. It's sort of a 'french connection' looking sled and not worth more than $3,000 and I'm probably glossy eyed!
