Electric system is the number one reason for both repairs (80% in 1950s and today) and junking them. Complexity after early 1980s became unbearable, and plastic interiors ruined the rest. One can — with ones own labor — spend 2x or 3x cars value ONLY in redoing interior and most (not all) electrics.
A mid 1960s car with dual hydraulic circuit brakes & optional front discs is about it for a rebuild to driver status. And that assumes upgrades on safety as possible (accepting lack of crashworthiness) where insurance is prohibitive or unattainable for full replacement.
Good luck
