If you know nothing about airplanes think of it as an old exotic car just ten times more regulated and more expensive to maintain and operate. So it's 44(!) years old, hasn't flown nor be maintained in many years and you know very little about it's flight and maintenance history (log books) and how and where it has been operated and stored? Don't go near it.
Overall, it will be cheaper to buy something a bit newer with complete logs and records and a current airworthiness (review) certificate.
In any event: Don't trust advise from strangers on the internet. Get a professional to help you. It will cots you but it will be worth it.
