That is a good price.

As the proud? owner of a 74 that looked a lot better than this thing when I started, I can guarantee you that the repairs will not stop at a new trunk floor! Look at the 1/4's! If we use Alan's figure of $20,000 for a paint job and then add another $10,000 for bodywork and God knows how much for sheet metal, mechanical and interior, we have a nice $50-60,000+ '74! Hell of a deal, eh? 
PS. I live within 10-20 miles from where this is advertised, so if anybody here absolutely has to have it, I'll go and look it over for you.

Is there better cars in our area of Southern Ontario in the $10K CDN range ? 

[cuda hunter]

I would consider that a driver/beater.   Not a restore project. 

You can buy 74's every day for 30K done.

Not ever car has to be restored to showroom condition. A decent local body shop could probably do the body and paint for 5000.00. Granted not OE spec with flawless paint but hell it is not a 71 hemi cuda convertible. Somebody who can do body and paint repairs themselves and enjoy a nice driver car.
Just my 2 cents

Change the hood and drive it as is, is what I was thinking

You might want to put a few minor finishing touch on the interior.
