I appreciate the advice. I will check carefully for rust (from what I was told, it is only around the front fenders, but it is a fear of mine). I didn't know about the AC system, so I definitely will ask. Any idea what kind of offer I should make if it is in decent shape (with the rust limited)? Somebody else mentioned doing the work myself as a way to save money, and I hope to learn and do a bit myself, but my dealer should be pretty good about helping out as I have a good relationship with them. Thanks to everyone for the advice to a young guy starting his collection (hopefully), and keep it coming if anybody has any more.
