Get it checked out by multiple body and mechanical shops .... a buddy bought an old MG, had it checked out, bought it, then the problems begin. Multiple things that should have been caught were not. With an older classic car, even if u are willing to accept less than perfection, you should have a very good idea of what those imperfections are ... in detail ... don’t trust only one person, no matter how good you think they are. I like you, love the older classic muscle cars, but decided to go new because I wasn’t willing to do the work n take the chance.
