If the exhaust system fell off and the gas tank is full of rust, there HAS to
be a lot of rust on the body or frame somewhere. This would be a major
project requiring a complete disassembly, removal of all paint, then body and
frame repair, good paint job, and rebuilding of all components. You are
looking at a coupla years of weekend work and thousands of dollars. When
finished, the car will be worth $3K-$6K, depending on your skills as a
mechanic.
IOW, if you can't get it for free, you don't want it.
All this is IMO, YMMV.
