Is it buy worthy or not?

So there is a 1997 Grand Prix GTP. It has 134k miles on it. It has a new battery and new tires. The bad side: Doesnt have AC or heat but the blower works
, needs a new radiator, needs a supercharger pulley, exhaust leaks, driver side window wont roll down, missing driver side body kit and the emergency brake doesnt work. I am looking for a winter car but I am caught up on this though.
I want to hear your guys input on the car.
[Edit] The price of her is $1,000 OBO <-- Thats what has me thinking about picking her up. lol

I've been fine in michigan w/o ac for all my years of driving so far (whopping 9 years). The ac isnt that big of an issue as the heat imo. 134k isnt that much for a 3800, but just from your description of its condition it sounds like its been a rough 134k. Whats the asking price?

Idk as long as the body is in decent shape and the tranny seems all right and the price is right. I would hit it.

I guess I got a little too excited while writing this up. I put the price up in the post now.

I'd have to be a screaming deal. If it was $1500 or under it might be worth considering, depending on how good the rest of the car is, as you know you'll have to put at least $500 into it to get it into running order.

Have you seen the car in person yet? What I quoted above leads me to believe it has rotted out rockers. My friend's '98 GTP lost its' plastic rocker piece when the rocker rotted out... I'd check it out for sure before buying it.
EDIT - See this..
