Nah, you can't give up that quick. Do some more research on the one you are looking at. Ask for documents. Find out if it has had a top end build and the studs replaced with steel or aftermarket studs. Spend the $30 for a valve cover gasket kit and an hour or so of labor with the old guy if there is any indication that you might be surprised. And if it doesn't fit the bill then keep looking. They are out there. In the meantime, keep researching what goes wrong with these cars and what it costs to fix it.
And I'll add one more tip about the car you are looking at-----if it is an 81SC and it is indicating 170k on the odometer, chances are a US destined 81SC had an 85 mph speedometer. If it doesn't then that's another paper trail you should research.
