Somehow I think this deal looks more like the other side of the pendulum swing. That said, the car and its new owner are probably well matched.

A little harsh, but elements of truth at every point. I hate kicking a man when asked for help, but I really fear he may have purchased something awful, in terms of safety and a money pit. However it might be much better built than it looks and if it was purchased for a low enough price, it may turn out OK.
I would advise not putting a lot of money into a car like this. Labor is fine to waste if you have the time. You could drop a $25K drive train into this car an not raise its resale value a dime over a junkyard donor that runs good. This is definitely like building a new house in the worst neighborhood in town.
