If you can, I’d go check it out in person or see if you can locate someone in the area who can (and won’t try to buy it).
From those pics, no obvious signs of repaint, doesn’t look hacked up and I like the stripes. Looking at the rear sill would see how bad the rust is, but it doesn’t look like it’s hiding anything. Looks like any rust there is popping through; that’s the best part about non-fresh paint, the issues have already surfaced.

That one looks really good actually, minimal rust from the pics.
What year is it supposed to be?

The red one in Michigan does look pretty nice, but probably not 30k nice? The rust is really going to blossom. Might be an older resto that was resprayed? Kind of looks like it around the edge of the tub with top off and on the rear fenders where the paint is bubbling. Definitely want to look in person and stick your head up under those rear fenders and along the sill underneath.
Three red ones on BaT right now too

Thanks for pointing those out. I'm watching all of them. The 1977 is ideal, but is going to go past my budget I'm sure.
The 1972 is really nice. I'd rather it have the stock f engine and 3 speed, but I might be able to live with the 2f and 4 speed. We'll see how high that goes. I'm probably not willing to go tot the top of my budget fro something without original running gear.
The 1971 is my least favorite of the three...auxiliary gas tank, missing running boards, rust.... plus the bedliner on the interior is a deal killer for me.
Thanks for keeping your eye out for me though, I appreciate it.

On the Michigan one, you echo my thoughts. There is bubbling rust in all the usual places....rockers, rear fenders, one front fender and rear sill. Is it going to explode in rust in two or three years? Plus, coming from the Midwest and their road salt, I'm a bit concerned. Otherwise, I love it.
Two mud members ( @Ocho77 and @Planespotting ) have generously offered to go look at it for me. The owner keeps it at his vacation home several hours away, so I'm just waiting for them to coordinate a visit. I'm not in a hurry, as I want to be sure to get the right vehicle, so that can take time.
Thanks for all your help.

Still talking, awaiting a visit and look over by another Mud member.....

The thing about that '72, it's just too pretty. Nothing left for me to do but drive it. I kinda want one I can putter on....
Also, do the rubber bumpers on the rear bumperettes indicate a foreign model? Also doesn't appear to have a rear heater.....?

Yeah, it will probably go above my budget anyway...The rubber bumpers are available and they probably just added them. Kinda cool. That 72 is super nice. The 2F and 4 speed are nice upgrades. I wouldn't be surprised if that goes higher.
The 2f and 4speed are nice upgrades, but I just favor 'original '......
Hadn't heard from you so I figured Ocho77 got to it for you. Still available if needed, it would give me an excuse to drop by my buddies garage where mine is.

Thanks @Planespotting and @Crinkler, I appreciate your offers to help. I think the owner and @Ocho77 are going to schedule something, but if that doesn't work I'll reach out to see if one of you has the time. I really appreciate the help. It'll give me a lot more peace of mind if I know someone unbiased has put eyes on it.
