Got to thinking about this, and you realize this one will too. Just the headlight doors being up says that system has been neglected. Did they cap it off or just letting it be a vacuum leak? No telling until it's yours. Of course that's a minor subsystem that's not critical but is emblematic of prior owners and their views towards maintenance and repair. Most approach car repairs as "just make it work (cheaply)" instead of "make it like it never happened". IME it takes months to find and sort out a prior owners bodges and "temporary" repairs (of which there is nothing more permanent). On top of that every seal and gasket on the thing will be leaking to one extent or another because they just weren't meant to last all that long to begin with and it's been many times that long now. I'd be stunned if the radiator didn't need to be recored because all the fins are rotted and it's seeping from one or more spots, and so on. It'll be a project for sure but at least you won't be having to source trim pieces, upholstery, and other hard to get items.
