I need a reality check, can you help?

Some of my earliest memories are riding around with my big brother in his 71 Satellite Sebring. I was running the thought through my head of trying to pick one up. What type of ball park could I expect this project to run. I don't figure I could afford a full restoration but would like to make it streetable. Would this be a good vehicle for me to make my first classic rebuild? Would body work to make it a track car be easier if facing large amounts of rust? Is there a good reliable source for me to educate myself on the Satellite models around that era? TIA
