It's a 2 Liter. And it looks like the car was originally Phoenix Red.

Without knowing the extend of the rust, it's just a parts car.
I wouldn't pay more than $500 for it ...

There are 110 different things to make this a super costly restoration. That's ok and what most of us have done...spent way too much but do it because these are great cars to own. Don't plan on spending a few hundreds to get it running. It might need the entire left side replaced from the door to the trunk lock...sorta common when you see what rust can be there. The pans probably need replacing. All that said, get a local to do a PPI, or move on. There are lots of cars for a few thousand that are running, and drivable.
What's your budget?
Here's one $3500 Canadian in brampton, Ontario from the Classified. Good luck just don't buy the first one you see.

Like andy said without knowing the rust state it is hard to tell. Certainly there is $500 worth of parts there. Seems to be some rust showing at the damage site. Really need to take an ice pick to it to tell if it is parts or restore candidate.
The bump was enough to pop the windshield so you have to wonder about how straight it is. Shoul also look at the suspension mount points. If they were weak the may have torn.
Let me know if you buy it for parts.

Check the roof attachment. See if the roof sticks out equally on either side at the roll bar.
Why? That front end hit may have tweaked the chassis, moved the passenger front shock tower in, and twisted the front shell slightly.
Had that problem on on one of my cars and the PO welded on replacement fenders and bondo'd the inner trunk area to look good.
If the longs, floor, and hell hole aren't gone, go for it.

the car sold for $1500, i passed on it. my limit was $900 for a car with to many question marks, so even at $1500 with the auction, fees taxes and tow your looking at over $2000

the air intake for the filter is on the wrong side; it should point to the passanger side of the car...
