Hidden away in a climate controlled barn.
That describes my house.

As long as there's no frame rust it sounds like a good deal.

Sounds like it a decent deal and worth spending the time to get a better look at at.

As a current '73 (and '72) owner, it's a no-brainer: DEAL!

It's the last of the chrome-bumper cars, it's a BB, low miles, and sounds like overall it's in good to excellent condition. And his price is definitely low. Go for it!
