I bought a 1985 900 auto about 2 years ago for the boyfriend for $400, about 200K miles, replaced the exhaust, front calipers, and all the brake pads, and its gone another 35K miles problem free. Yeah its slow, but its definately not a "money pit." And he loves the damn thing.
On the other hand, I have had 2 turbos, both 5 speeds, and both definately qualified as "money pits." I sold them both in disgust.
I figure if you want something to do, and want a second car to boot, go for it. Converting it to 5speed if thats what you want is not much more expensive than an auto job. A second car is nice to have if you have a parking space and the $$ for registration and insurance. And a project car is good too. I think I would try to get it for way below a grand though.
