If the price is right and amount of work needed is within reason....yes.

2nd Gens are starting to come into the money

From what you see so far is it worth 500? Supposed to have a 400 chevy with it.. It would end up being a drag car for me so interior doesn't matter

Parting out could recoup that....so, yes.

Looks like there is some rust started around the rear window. How did the trunk look inside?

If the glass, doors, fenders, radiator core support, rear end, maybe, front clip are in good condition you could probably make a little on parting the car out. Might take a while.
