I saw that one too. I had a 1960 1200 about 30 years ago. A very pretty car. You see them for sale now and then. They can be rusty though so inspection is critical. Also, Chris Obert is a good parts source on these.Log into Facebook

Is it worth taking a shot on for $3500?
It seems to be worth 10x that in mint condition

Rough, but not unrestorable. European side repeaters, but I can't see the speedometer to see if it's miles, or kilometers. The headlamps look flat, so they are probably not sealed beams.
I don't see a radiator, but I have some old ones (I think).
You could easily be into it for more than it's worth.
I will soon have Brookie's 1200 Cabriolet up for sale. It's been to lots of Freak Outs, runs well. I've just done everything needed to make it a daily driver, except the new battery it needs. Waiting for the body man to complete a repair to a boo boo I did while constructing a garage.
It's good for an east coast car, with sheet metal floor covers (courtesy of Charlotte Transit) under the carpets. It has a non professional interior reupholstery done, and a home done body preparation for an inexpensive paint job. A real nice canvas top, and OK tires (but old). She had the bumpers, and some other chrome work, done 20 + years ago (or so). Won't win an award at a show, but it will drive you there, and back. Brookie had a guy in Charlotte that builds NASCAR engines do the motor. He did an exceptional job.
There are still some rust free cars out there. Last year I completed a patina restoration for a guy in the north east (he found it in the SF bay area with a blown motor, it had been sitting decades). I am just completing one from Southern California that is also rust free. He says 18 years in his garage, also with an inexpensive paint job that shows it when you get close.
If you want one that's a project, fly in and take a look at the Facebook car.
Or, pray that another rust free car appears, and that you get to it before anyone else.
