What would you do?

While making a service call to a customers house to fix a transmission leak, I had a very interesting proposal thrust upon me. No, not that. Clean your mind!

A neighbor of my customer said he and his father needed to clean their garage including the car contained within. So when I finished the trans work I stopped in to see this car. I was very suprised when I saw this car. The car wasn't exactly in a garage. It was more like a Three walls with a gate (no roof). He said they just want to get rid of it and I could take it for $50. Ok, the car you ask........ a '71 Mach 1.

This car has all the glass intact and interior is clean (for 24yr's). Hood is rusted out bad, the roof is pushed in a little by a bunch of debris but the rest of the sheet metal is good.
Exterior body trim looks complete, even the striping and Mach 1 lettering is present. Also has 351C with Automatic.

My delimma is storage and money. I don't have money to start restoring it yet and my storage oprions are iffy right now.

You know how I'm feeling. Everyone has been there before. I feel like if I pass on this I'll be kicking myself later.

Should I take this car no matter what and store it? Should I get this car and go balls to the wall and drop other projects to get this going? Should I then keep it or go for profit?

I am a little conflicted. I'm gong to check with the owner on title status. I will get some pictures to post this week also.
