Major '72 Burban Delima

Okay, so I have a major delima here. If your not familure with me I'm the author of "Barn yard find w/out the Barn yard". Its a nice '72 burban that is really solid for its age. I've got a bit of work down on it so far, and now...

Last night I was finishing up some emails, and clicked over to Portlands CL and found a newly listed "1972 Suburban". To my shock they had it listed at $1200 obo. Not knowing any options or condition I loaded up the family and headed out of Bend to Portland. Thankfully the guy was nice enough to let me have the first gander at it since I was the first one to email him (plus the fact of driving eight hours round trip). So we got there at 11:30 last night and first thing I do is pop the hood and noticed how full the engine compartment was.

Factory A/C. I better get another look at this possibility. So I peek my head in and find in the dash A/C, and rear A/C. So then my curiosity stirred. I looked at the build sheet... Custom deluxe trip, upper and lower. Front/Rear AC. Tilt wheel. Possi rear end. Third row seat. And the list goes on check out the pics.

Long story short. This burb has way more rust issues than my Orange one. But I'm thinking the body work would be worth keeping the white pearl all original without parting it out to my orange one.

Looking for some feed back. Keep an eye out, because its just a possibility that the ol'orange/white burb is going on the market.
