RE: My new 5.0
Wow that's a real nice car you picked up! Body looks good and it appears (from what you've shown us) to be in good shape mechanically. The paint looks real good too. $1300 sounds pretty good for only needing some love on the interior.
As far as the rust, it should be pretty easy to sand it off and coat it with some primer and/or spraypaint, since they look like areas that would be covered up with interior trim anyway.

EDIT: also, how hard would it be to take those long side panels out and clean em up, maybe spray em gray again.
