Nope... don't waste the money..
 The condition is Terminal and we all have it.
Just learn to live with it and spend the $$$ instead  on those new parts you wanted.
 Then all is well....

I think you're better off focusing on your recently "completed" project. Besides, isn't there always something left to do on these cars? A transmission conversion? Detailing the engine bay or undercarriage? Upgrading to a Becker Grand Prix? How about this -- new lug nuts? I did that when I started running low on things to do on my last car.

That junker is in worse condition then mine was--far, far worse.  But, mine had sentimental value :)  Scrap it for parts and you'll get a better return, and work on your existing one as Doug suggests.

Cees collects engines, maybe he wants it the engine??

I'm just as sick, bought a silver 69 California Coupe then bought a 69 white/dark red roadster a week later. Both are nice #2 drivers. Now I have to sell my restored 57 Desoto and have to park an Audi TT outside so that both 113s can have the garage. Can't even tell my 50s car friends. Spoiled cars, I've promised myself that I'd sell one but don't know if I can do it. Pagoda possession obsession syndrome I guess.

I guess you can have one as a driver and the other as a show car. :D
