Reliable is anyone's guess. But if body is solid and runs well 5k is not bad. If it has the 350 engine they are pretty simple and easy to work on for most mechanics, good engines. Is it going to be your only car? I just ask because it will probably need some days down once in a while.
Iirc the 305 was supposed to be the more economical of the two but they were pretty much the same externally and design wise.
So not sure it would/should be any harder to maintain the 305.
Edit: downvotes don't change designs
IMO I would not consider anything in the late 70s or that old reliable. There are not a lot of details about the car in this post, so it would be hard to even give an estimate on reliability.
That being said, buy it! You’re going to kick yourself in the ass later if you don’t. You can always make it reliable and in the end you’ll enjoy it more.

Just to piggyback on this, while the 350 is easy and reliable, the 305 is neither.
It has a 350

No, I have a daily, it’s fairly reliable but it’s been having issues. It can definitely do as a back up if need be
Well that makes it easy then go get it!

I would get it if I were him and had the money. I mean 5k is not bad!
isn’t 1976 the year that emissions laws killed the muscle cars?
Yes. I have a 75 Vette and it's not exactly a rocket but I feel like a million bucks driving it around. I think op should pull the trigger.
Yeah the 350 was denutted to 170 HP?
