Tips on inspecting/buying a 40 year old car?

Nice car, and not overpriced like so many other offerings out there! As usual with any old car, the less they're driven, the more seals will dry out and crack and break apart! I would expect that a valve seal job and maybe a trans rebuild would be in the future as you drove it more than he has! Other than that, look for any rust on the underbody, as cars that sit outside covered up tend to wick up moisture from underneath and can rust out the structure from underneath!

Should be a good little car, and priced right in the range for a survivor!! Geof
