I agree with Jim - its likely to be a rebuild for you. He may consider it driver quality, but it'll definately need some restoring. Plus the 80's used the non-turbo 301 which has very little power. Even the turbo did little to help it.

If you are looking for a project car that you can drive home, I wouldn't offer him any more than a few hundred dollars, depending on the options for the car. You'll end up sinking thousands into a car that you are just casually interested in. Be sure about your plans for the car (or any 2nd gen TA if you are in that market) before contemplating it.
