Hello everyone- I am looking for some advice on buying a 1975 Standard. Not so much for restoration but as a decently reliable daily driver that I can teach my kid basic mechanics stuff on.


Here's the info from the seller, I've got a test drive planned for it next week:


-350 SBC bored .30 over

-th350 automatic transmission

(both rebuilt about 7000 miles ago)

-no ac, missing compressor

-Interior/exterior good condition

-Left turn signal and driver window don't work

-Newer shocks- 2yrs old

-Power steering needs a new pump

-Starts and runs good

-No rust or significant body damage, just the rear drivers side is a little beat up

-no emissions are required where the seller lives, but will be required based on where I live so that might be a potential issue




Other than checking if the above stuff is all true- is this a decent option? What additional questions should I ask and/or what should I look at during the test drive to make sure I don't end up with expensive problems?




Any insight/advice is much appreciated! Thank you for reading.
