If you are worried about the wiring, it's hardly any wiring to just replace the ignition system wiring and wire an ign and starter switch just right under the hood. Then once the car is in decent running shape, you can reconnect the original wiring.

One thing to know is that you only really need to inspect for breaks or shorts, and with a car that old, shorts would probably melt/burn the wires for lack or fusing. If you can hook a battery up and you don't see loose wires hanging anywhere, the wiring is probably fine for the time being. Though if I had a car like that I would replace all the wiring in it at various convenient parts of the repair process.
