Too much cancer?

Yeas ago I pulled a 71 B5 blue 340 duster out of the blackberries in Oregon that looked a lot like this car for $1200.

I was really happy to have got my hands on it...

However, by the time I added it up, (what I could see...) I'd have to drop minimum $25k in early 90's money it to make it a $20K car.
Sold it. Likely it became a VIN and Fender tag donor
