Default HELP! 1969 C3 buying advice needed!

I've bought and sold numerous classic cars and I've yet to see a non working AC that just needs charging. A working AC can easily add $2k to $5k to the price of the car and the system can be charged for under $100. So if it was really as simple as just adding Freon it would have been done. Now I'm sure their are exceptions to this story, but I've never been lucky enough to find one that just needs charging. The AC system is the most expensive nonessential system to fix in a car. I always end up spending over $1000 to get them up and functioning correctly. YMMV

You might think of it the other way too. Tell him 18 is all you can go due to the problems. If he is willing to miss the deal because you are a grand low and he has been trying to sell it for 3 months.... Good luck!
