Complete bike or frame for project?

This one might be a doozy but here it goes. I've been scoping out craigslist looking for a good fixed gear conversion and came across this post. The two things I have my eye on are the $25 Schwinn Continental II and the yellow lugged 23" frame for $20 (says he has the forks for it). Are these, or anything else he has, worth picking up to get my project started?

Edit: I forgot to put the links in but went a totally different route anyway so this was a waste sorry.

1979 Continental II? That had the Ashtabula crank, right? Do you plan to install a bottom bracket threaded shell converter? It's more complicated. If you haven't purchased the frame yet, why not just look for a 1980s Japanese frame? PG
