So I had a chance to check out the car today. Most obvious faults were the window regulators (driver's side was busted, but they have a new replacement for it), dying OBC (not terribly surprised and not too worried about that), shot hood shocks (not too worried about that), and the rubber mouldings around the windows were starting to peel away (since I plan on using this only during the summer and I'm in the Interior, where it barely rains, not a big deal).
The biggies, however, is some major hydraulic lifter tick and rust. I forgot to grab the VIN to check the history but it doesn't seem to have been in any accidents based on the body panel alignment and the frame. Based on the rust, it appears to have been living the majority of its life in either the interior or Alberta. There's no structural rust damage yet but you can tell it'll turn into cancer if it's not tackled relatively soon.
All in all, not entirely sure. That said, the engine seemed to pull pretty hard and I was able to break the rear loose a few times without much problem. For the price, I think it might be worth it.
