Rear chassis legs have a habit of rotting.
Ask the owner for it to remain cold until you arrive so see if it has noisy lifters.
Make sure everything works.
Thats about it really.

Apart from the above the normal valvers are ok.
Check the norm - oil water contamination
Smoke
Make sure the wear on the interior matches up roughly with whats on the clock.
Happy hunting.
Best thing to do would be to join somewhere like MIG or Club Calibra for cars which are available - a quick search and you can see if they have had any probs or anything.
