Converting over, need some advice
Welcome to the world of MOPAR
Buy the best car you can afford, it is much cheaper that way.
The striker on older a bodies crack out, it doesn't mean it was a rust bucket. They even make repair pieces for this. I had to repair mine, someone welded the striker to the jamb.
One thing to look for is the rust in the front frame rail around upper control arms and torsion bar/trans mount support
many need floor and trunk pans all available in aftermarket.
I have seen some really reasonable cars listed here on this site. Might have to travel to go get it, or have it shipped.
There are several members that would be more than happy to check a car out for you. A real rust free west coast car would be worth the shipping in a lot of cases.
My car after 10 years and a LOT OF $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
