I may offend someone, but I own a 67 coupe that had zero rust, body was straight and was a driver at the time I got it for 2k. I wanted all new rubber and suspension plus a new paint job (maaco) With my latest engine rebuild I now have 9k invested, but personally with still a lot of work left I think 7k is to much for this one. 5-6k is about tops for a coupe needing very little work. Those holes in the shock tower are for grease fitting access.
