Should I buy this 73' 145? 140-160

I have a question. I currently own a nice 85 240 sedan and am a big Volvo fan. There is a 73 145 wagon for sale here that has 154k miles on it. It is orange and all original paint, no rust, and the interior is all good except for cracks in the drivers seat. It has all the maintinence records and drives pretty nice. It is really slow. On the freway the engine winds hard at 65 mph. It has an automatic. The car appears tight for a 73. Would this car be a worthwhile purchase for a daily driver? I drive between 40 and 90 miles per day. The owner would take $1800 for it. Is this a good deal or not? Are parts hard to get for this old of a car? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
