Considering the body appears sound there is no choice but to go for it. As
you so casually mentioned that you will "pull the motor", it sounds like you
comfortable dealing with the mechanicals of the thing. And for cryin' out
loud, your wife WANTS you to restore it! That alone puts you way ahead of the
game! And the price is right too. You are in a perfect position. Have fun
with the restoration and driving it!
Where are you located? Check this map...

write them and invite them over to help. That's what they get for putting
themselves on the map in the first place!

I think I have inherited this one and my wife wants me to restore it. I'm
trying to decide if this is even doable. Fortunately there doesn't seem to
be a lot of rust. I need to get tires, get it moved to my garage, then pull
the motor so I can get started on it. Anybody want to talk me out of it
before I get in too deep?
