77 Cordoba in my own backyard

I talked to a fellow today about a 77 Cordoba almost in my backyard. I'm kinda looking for a late B and chassing down all leads. Here's what I know,
77 Cordoba, 48K original mi, 400/727, original paint, brown with tan-gold vinyl top and tan-gold leather interior. I can't see it till he gets it out of storage but he says it's rust free with a near perfict interior, and this was confirmed by a friend who has seen it. Belonged to an old man who traded paint with his garage a couple times but only scratches. OE tires and wheel covers so I know that I'm looking at buying tires/wheels. He says everything works. Lean burn was removed in favor of MP EI. That's what I would have done too. He priced it to me for $3850. I can't see it till he cleans it up and brings it to his transmission shop. Assuming everything is true,(within reason) WIW? Is this a good deal? Keep in mind I'm looking for a cruise night driver till my RC project hits the road. I need to recover my investment when I'm done.
