Older Bridgestone first flip?

A local consignment shop has a Bridgestone for $20 and I wonder if its worth buying and overhauling to flip.
It's a lugged 4130 frame, about 58 cm, with a Suntour VX RD, Sugino Custom crankset, SR seatpost, Suntour Powershift stem shifters, Diacompe sidepulls, suicide brakes, 27 x 1 1/4 rims (one Araya, one Weinmann). Ser # LO13508.
I'm guessing its from the pre-Petersen late 1970s. There is script lettering on the top tube that reads "Spi..." (Spirit? Spice?). It would need tires and tubes, bar tape, surface rust cleaning, clean, lube and adjust all the bearings etc...
Anyone know anything about it and d'ya that's a worthwhile project for a first flip?
And sorry, no pix.
