Default Yamaha FG-200

Anyone know anything about these? There's one for sale in the local classified for $75. I know it's an older, likely 1970's all laminate vintage. No real info about it given. Just a pic and the price. It's close enough that I don't want to ask questions and give the impression of being really interested. Thus possibly ruining the opportunity to haggle for an even lower price. But want to learn all I can about this model before I go to look at it. I know all the structural things to check for. Neck angle, dished or bowed top, bridge problems etc. What I'm most interested in finding out is if this is one of the much vaunted "Red Label" models that reportedly have a superior build and tone. If not, I probably won't bother.
