'65 tempest

I'm sure this is going to violate some lame rule...becasue no one EVER thinks it's ok to talk about anything but a third gen....BUT I have the opportunity to buy a '65 Tempest with a rebuilt 326...for $1000, Decent shape..Is it worth it? I don't know much about these.. I have always wanted a GTO..would I be dissapointed with a tempest? I don't know where else to ask this question to car people so please don't lock it...

Transmission: V8 T-5/700R4 x2

Axle/Gears: 3.42 open/2.73 open/ 3.27 9 bolt

Same car but with only the basics. GTO would have better brakes, steering, springs, etc.....
Good for a daily driver, 326 is a good engine and a 389/400/428/455 is a drop in for later.
