I agree about the pre-purchase inspection and getting the records. As far as cost goes, a complete paint job done to concours specs will cost as much or more than an engine overhaul. But realistically, if the paint is faded or there is a dent or two, but great running gear you can still drive the car and enjoy it. Which is why you want it in the first place I imagine? A final though, if you are looking at a Targa, check the rubber seals for cracks/wear, especially those around the top since they are a HUGE expense to replace. I did all the ones on a 914 and that cost well over $1000!
