$5000! Way over priced unless you can verify the mechanical
condition (engine/box/etc). Note that you should plan to flush out
the fuel tank, reco the carbs, replace fuel and brake lines, probably
replace clutch and rear brake slave cylinders, possibly re-sleeve the
master cylinder, replace radiator hoses, possibly replace the
radiator (if they didn't use anti-freeze). The rest of the car would
have to be pretty darn good overall to get anywhere near that price.
(IMHO)

You'll have to replace
