It appears to be a 1988 Canadian model, in which case the original price was $699 CDN. You're going to sink some money for tubes and lever hoods, but it's still a fair price if the mechanical condition is good, given what people seem to be paying for celeste, Italian made Bianchi these days. I'd probably try to find an inexpensive mid-range Italian crankset, just to get rid of the Shimano, even though it is a decent crank. .
The hubs should be Miche and a Shimano freewheel will work, provided you don't start swapping back and forth. The problem may be the shifters, which should be Syncro. This was Campagnolo's first attempt at indexed shifting and it's not as good as Shimano's SIS. It's not easy to make Syncro work well, especially if you start changing chains and freewheels. However, it is not a big deal, if you are willing to use friction mode.
Overall, at your price offer, I do not think the bicycle is a bad risk. As pointed out, you could probably easily recover your cost, should you not like it and be willing to part it out.
