David,
Try and find a magnet or one of those body magnets that measure bondo depth without scratching the paint. You said the body has been redone so it will be hard to figure out how much filler has been used.

Having a 69 look hard underneath the car for solid floor pans and rear quarter panels. Take a look at the trunk area behind each wheel well and the tail light panel around the lights, rust can be a major cost item.

You will be surprised how well seals hold up over time in the drivetrain, Check all the fluids to see if there is any rust or water in them. Make sure you operate EVERYTHING to see what works or doesn't, remember the mechanical stuff is Fairly easy to fix.
