The heater core is a PITA, definitely should be a negotiating point... At any rate, examine the trunk and floors carefully, if they're really rust-free the car is worth the $500- at least it would be here in the northeast.

Drive it first and see how it feels. I have a 77 244 (I'm in Mpls) and it has taken some work to keep it maintained; be ready to spend some time to keep it proper. But I really like the look of the 1970 240s, more than my wife's 90.
