I owned a 72 from 1980 until about 88. Mine had floorboard rust problems but nowhere else. These cars can be what I would consider "tempermental". One problem area I would report is the manual choke control cable within the console. The mounting design within the plastic console mold is weak, I imagine most have probably been fixed by using an exposed bolt through the console. Don't know about parts availability - sometimes it was difficult even in the late 80's. Oh yeah, if you don't know now, learn how to replace U-joints - there's lots of em.

P.S. - loved the car, still carry a picture of it in my wallet!
