In this day and age of fraud, faked build sheets and restamped blocks, I'd sooner buy a car in project form where you can see more evidence of the cars pedigree in undisturbed form, even if it means sinking a little more money into it to restore of have it restored. This way you can be a part of the restoration, and you know what you have. Plus it sounds like you got a heck of a deal on this one, so congrats.
