In my hunt for my '73, I was amazed at how many "rust free" cars have rust in them. Check the suspension pan, around the windows, door sills, door jambs, rocker panels, wheel wells, etc. Use a small screwdriver to gently prod suspect areas. Remember a small bubble on the outside is big rust on the inside.
In my case, I accepted a car with a rust free body and needing engine work. The way I figured it, engine repairs last 50-100k. Rust repairs last 2 weeks.
Good luck.
