Default So what's it worth

Ok, my turn for a 'What's it worth' thread

There's a rusty, crusty '73 911E for sale in the area. Here's the specifics:

The bad
-been sitting outside, uncovered for 8-10 years
-rust on all removable panels (doors, fenders, hood, tail)
-rusty rockers
-rust in the inner fender by each footwell
-gas tank support area rusted
-engine doesn't run, no plugs = lots of water in engine
-Cookie cutter wheels
-rust on windshield cowl

The good
-has a recaro looking seat (1 only).
-interior is amazingly nice except for crack in dash
-has steel S spoiler - in good shape
-has decent chrome trim headlight rings
-no dents
-no rust around torsion tube mounts
-S gauges and trim - in good cond.
-All glass is good
-Original radio
-915 trans

It may be able to be salvaged for a track car depending on the extent of rust. They guy wants $1,500 which is waaay too much.
If I could pick it up for $500-$800 or so I could part it out and make my money back. What's the value of the engine in the car (parts value). My wife is not too crazy about me parting this thing out at the house but if I could get it for cheap it could be worth it.

Thoughts?
