Motor not swapped! Still a deal.

I almost feel like that's a better deal than if it was only half finished. I would bet there's significant recoup potential in the motor that's currently in it.
Oh man.
Non-driving 944 with bad paint and broken windshield (is it now leaking also!? Maybe the brake master is rusted solid because of the water leak from the broken windshield) - $1000 car, max.
Add $3-500 junkyard Chevy motor in deal, cannot check condition of, hard to transport.
Now worth an incredible $2500!

Even on Fuchs?

Maybe? I don't know what those wheels are worth. I think you'd have a hard time selling them for $1000 though, even if they are sought after?

Glancing at completed eBay auctions? About $1500-2000:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Factory-OEM-Porsche-911-930-Turbo-fuchs-7J-X-16-and-9J-X-16-wheels-NO-RESERVE/184267874770?hash=item2ae738a1d2:g:UrYAAOSw3X1eoj0T
Those are 930 Fuchs though. I am not the expert on the nuances but those should be all the same width and offset unlike the more pricey wheels you linked to. Plus older Fuchs seem to be a bit time-bomb-ish without crack & corrosion checks. I think they're cool wheels but I don't think they're worth a grand for it.
The ones on the car look to be a bit better than these, but after shipping and ebay fees, this ebay add will net the seller about 600-700 (assuming they sell for the full $900).
So maybe its a bit better deal than I thought, but if you sell the wheels you still need to replace them with something...
Right, and it isn't like Porsches use some common bolt pattern... Sell the existing wheels for $700 and get some replacements for $500.

I put BMW wheels on my early offset car using adapters. The adapters are a one time purchase. BMW wheels are much cheaper and easier to find.
That said, finding less-liked 944 wheels for reasonable price isn't terribly hard, shipping them can be though. I think I have a couple hundred in the two sets of 944 take offs I have squirreled away. Joining the various Porsche and 944 forums and FB groups can help you ferret the deals out, that and poking around CL/FBM.
Also for any 944 project, you need one of these:
