depends on your end goal. are you going to build a race car and a custom engine? is it going to be a weekend cruiser?

if it's going to be a race car the shell might be a good deal as you will probably change everything anyhow.

if it's going to be a stockish engine type car i'd buy one ready to drive.

$1000 for a roller with a straight body is a very nice deal. If it's a project car, then you're free to build the drivetrain anyway you wish. It's essentially a blank canvas. Does it have an interior?
