any problems to look for

Hi,Newbie here.
I will be going to at a 1971 Olds Cutlass 2 door sport coupe that I may want to purchase.I would like to no if there are any major problems that I should look for such as bad frame or anything like that.Always been a Chevelle guy and this will be my first Oldsmobile and hopefully a keeper.
Thanks Bulldog

Check the bottom of the rear window.
80% of them need the rear glass removed and rust repaired there.

Congratulations. Be careful with the gas pedal. Since you are a Chevy guy you probably aren't used to going that fast.

Hello and good purchase. Comfortable ride is another Olds trait, one my sore bones enjoy.

I read the rear body mounts can have rust through.
