Hi,
This story sounds really good. But I would never do a diagnosis from just 3 sentences. Its all depending from the price you pay for it!
Make sure, that you are not blinded by body mastic, fresh paint, some polished parts.
Make sure that the car is COMPLETE and has the original engine/trans or at least a similar one. Have a close look to rims, tires, and all sealings. Make sure that EVERY electrical thing is working (e.g., heated rear window).
If these points are good, its just the price...
Some dripping oil might be OK, but have a close look underneath where it comes from. A full set of new sealings is several hundrets of $$ and might need a total engine dismount.
Check compression on ALL cylinders (be present yourself!) Let someone drive behind you and give full throttle at various speeds to check worn valve guides (smoke from oil burning.
Check noise at warm engine at approx. 2500-3000 rpm (chain tensioners).
If everything is OK, enjoy it!
How much you will have to spend in your first year is more or less a matter of luck and your own demandings on perfection.
Good luck!
