out of curiosity, what about the opposite: I've got an '85 SD with a straight body (clear coat failed on top & old person parking lot door dent in RR door, but no 'wrecks' or rust), runs well, drives well, 270K, but interior has cracks & rips in the seat + some stuff that needs to be checked out (one door lock + window motor + sunroof + AC). So, basically an SD that needs some TLC but would be good all 'round if it got it is worth ??? I can (and have - extensively) weld to make a rusty car solid & safe, but imho that is always either an act of love, zealous emotional attachment to a particular car, or shear stupidity for just about any production car known to mankind.
