Just admit it, it gives you a woody.
That it does. Just needs an SBC.

Quantity over quality?
What if you just want, like, a driver-condition Dart with a slant 6, A/C, and Torquefile? Surely that unassuming box on wheels is cheap.
This is why I can't be a Mopar owner. $6k buys you an incomplete (no interior), non-runner, that still needs rust repair. Don't get me wrong though, the car completed would be a stunner in that green.
This guy claims that he just wants his money back on the project. Well, I think that is an indication that he paid to much to start out. I have gone to look at cars like this, it is always a sad story, and now they realize they can't afford to pay what it will cost to make the car right.
There is also a bit of an auction effect with Mopars in particular. Everyone sees that rare Hemi, or six pack AAR car go across the line and get big bucks, so they think this more mainstream car is worth more because of it.

I've been there, mostly end up with a loss, sometimes end up breaking even, rarely make money.
Sure, but even the subjectively uglier mid-'70s models are getting more expensive. They never had the good powertrain options. Just the typical Mopar paint and stripe magic.
What always amazes me about something like this car is: These always ended up in the hands of a 3rd or 4th owner (like my mom's family) and they drove them into the ground. Only fixing what was absolutely needed to get them through until it finally shit the trans or engine, then it became yard art. I always am amazed that good examples of not so great vehicles still exist.
Which brings me to the worst idea possible. A museum for 1980-1999 vehicles that weren't exactly exciting, but still survive in good condition.
