I went and looked at this car maybe 3 weeks ago. Beautiful car in great shape
except for the oil cooler leak (probably/maybe, could be valve cover gaskets).
If it is the oil cooler it would be about $2k in parts and maybe 40hr work. I

Holy. For $1500, slap a rebuilt compressor on it and drive it into the ground.
When you’re done, sell off the parts for a profit.
I would be so all over that if it was close by. Even though I have nowhere to
park it.

It's about 4 hours away from me, I am just concerned about how much hail damage
it has. If it really is just the hood and trunk those can be replaced if pdr is
too expensive. I would bet it's the evap leaking but your super lazy ac sealer
would probably work.
