with a bad top, and the center console out, you should check out the floors before anything else. Get a bentley manual. better than haynes, and very readable. It is not perfect (by any stretch) but it is quite a bit of help. Lots of good information in 1 place. Pull all the interior and make sure all the wiring and brake lines and everything look good. This will give you a chance to vacuum everything, find and fix any rust (POR15 is your friend), wash the carpets, clean up what you can of the seats or depending on the situation, look for "new" skins or seats... in some cases, finding a parts car with a good interior to pull may be cheaper and easier than reskinning the seats you have.
The rebuilt tranny in a straight body is worth $800 right there... more if there is little or no rust! Interior parts can be swapped. I've never owned a vert so I don't know how bad the damage is that he did, but redoing the top should be a priority if you can't garage it (cover it in some way - that is probably a good part of why the interior is dirty). The parcel shelves are basically made of cardboard, and I would look into making a thin plywood shelf instead - stronger. You can match some carpet to what is there - usually the old stuff has faded badly anyway.
good luck!
