Description of 1979 Mercedes-Benz 400-Series 450SL

Intent to restore it, but do not have time and I have too many toys. This toy must go.
Car stayed in storage for 15+ years.
Needs new fuel pump. Does not pump the gas.
Starter cranks the engine OK, but does not stop and keep cranking the engine continuously. Probably bad ignition switch. Please see the video -https://youtu.be/qqxvNOm9PqY
Engine turns freely.
2 surface rust spots. See pictures - on the left side of driver headlights and on rear passenger fender.
Door sills look OK.
Needs new seat back cover for driver seat. Please see pictures.
Car has 2 tops - hard top and soft top. Soft top condition is unknown. Need to remove a hard top to see it.
Overall car is in good condition.
I can deliver it up to 200 miles around Springfield, IL for $1 per mile one way.
