1963 Starfire in a yard, complete wiw?

Just saw this at a local yard yesterday & took some pictures of it. I don't know starfires, but this looks like it was an awesome car! Probably worth fixing?? I can get it for around a couple grand or so. Buckets, console, tach, power windows, p. antenna, vacuum trunk, was told engine is locked up, & the radiator is gone. Has some rust at bottom of pass door & under sill plate. Probably more, I didn't take a good look at it. It comes with a title. I don't need to restore another car right now, but if I can get it & make a few bucks, then I may pull the trigger.
I've read a couple recent threads on starfires & know the parts are rare & expensive. Just looking for opinions & advice.

Also found a '67 cutlass & a '75 Cutlass near the starfire. I pulled some parts off the '67 already & will go back soon to rob the '75 of the buckets, console, maybe the nice decklid & maybe more??

That 63 is pretty cool; the buckets appear to be '66 (or so) jobs, possibly from a Pontiac? They look pretty good along with the 4 spoke wheel. Rims are kinda funky too (in a good way). Whoever owned it obviously put some thought into how he equipped it.
