Three things you really need to do
Take someone that knows these cars, then
Take someone that knows these cars and finally
Take someone that knows these cars
Trust me, wish I had known about this board and members before I bought mine.
I too knew absolutely nothing about these cars and am learning the hard HARD way.
There are many problems with an old performance car and it adds up really fast.
Had mine almost three years now, everytime I turn around it need this or that and sitting in a garage takes its tole.
Find someone nearby who will go with you and give an honest assesment of the car without emotion.
Some of these guys will be able to tell you in about 10 minutes what the car will need.
I would be very surprised if it didnt need somethings, but at least you will know upfront what you are getting into.
I didnt.
Good Luck !
