where exactly on the cowl??
Go for it. Looks like a nice starting point!
Look under the stainless the wipers sit on when parked.

The nice thing about the 72 is that it is the last year before they started making small block vs. big block K-frames. You can bolt in a big block with just the right mounts. You'll probably want to upgrade the axle to an 8-3/4. They are getting harder to find, but some C-body axles will swap in. Also, as stripper as this car seems to be, I would bet heavily that it has the plain jane dash and associated wiring rather than the gauges found on Rallyes and other optioned cars, so you might want to factor those in as cost upgrades if you are trying to have a performance version of this car in the end.
If it really is mostly rust-free and complete, $4500 seems like a fair offer to me. Rust empties your wallet and consumes a lot of time. You are always way ahead to start with a solid car.

It's a WL, so it doesn't even have the woodgrain dash and passenger side vent trim panel.
Should be black and silver with a raised center on the pass side and no emblem.
Take off the large vent screens under that chrome trim mentioned above, by the wiper pivots and get your hand and arm down in there as far as you can.
Feel around the base of the vent "stacks" that look like a volcano on each side.
Shine a flashlight in between the door/fender and lower A pillar area.
Honestly it does look pretty straight and solid from the photos.
Looks like it didn't have a vinyl top, so at least the dutchman panel didn't get trashed.
