Possibly trading for a '65 Barracuda
First places I would look on this car are up under the dash to get a good look at the inner cowl! Look around where the drivers side fresh air box mounts to the metal above it!!
Next I would be looking at the rear roll up pan behind the rear floor pan underneath! That area is triple layered, with a large area to catch and hold moisture to rust out all 3 pans that come together there!
Next, inspect the rear crossmember piece that ties the 2 frame rails together in the rear!
Also be sure to inspect the center crossmember where the torsion bars mount!
If any of these areas are rusted through and need replacing, especially the inner cowl, it's major surgery even for the most experienced surgeon! If it were a Formula S car I would be more apt to go forward with the trade, seeing as it's not makes fixing these areas more a labor of love for the body style, and not much monetary value added to the car!!
Incidentally, here's a pic of the 66 I did for my wife, took me 12 years to complete!!
