Saw a Luscombe on Barnstormers for $16500 in Quebec, Certified Aircraft. Seems too good to be true; Thoughts?

Damage history? Groundloop?
Corrosion?

Might be good, might be bad..
Earlier this summer I had a friend almost die in a luscombe due to a severely corroded main landing gear strut....
I would bring an ultrasonic wall thickness gauge to check for corrosion... but Im a bad person...

Just heard from new owner:
Has rare Lyc 235 STC. He peeked inside the
low-time cylinders, no corrosion, cross-hatching.
I am pestering him to install a new tailwheel,
to avoid shimmying which is a piss-off during
training.
