I'd go to that thrift store to look at the bike in person. In particular, I'd check whether the rims and frame are damaged. The frame and fork look as though there's a chance that they might be bent; impossible to tell from those pictures.
Sorry about the pics they weren't meant to be shown off and analyzed, I checked things in person... I was just showing a buddy what I was looking at.
