Default Looking at a 240

I found a 89 240 in my area and the seller is asking $300. It does need work on it. Like the engine seems to be runniong on only one cylinder and the engine also moved side to side about 6 inches. I am looking to fine a 240 to restore, but would this car be more trouble that it is worth. It would need a new paint job, tire, wheels, minor body work, and new interior as well.

Yeah three hundred sounds about right. That's about the condition my car was in when I bought it. But I bought mine for a daily driver (it's still my only car) and it's still in very much the same condition, apart from that it now runs on four cylinders most of the time. If you're looking for something to restore you could probably be easier on yourself, even in that price range.
