Thinking of buying an 85 300D Tubro . . . Help

Hey gang,

Wondering what I need to look for when insepting this one. It's an 85 300D tubro. The ad says it has 109,000 miles on it and "runs excellent". The clear coat is peeling all over the place (trunk, hood, roof). I drove by it today and took a very quick look. I could see a little rust bubbling back by the rear wheels. The interior didn't look too shabby. I am planning on going back for a closer look and a test drive.

Asking price is $1000, I probably wouldn't pay more than $800 for it. What do I need to watch out for on this one?

Ad also says CD player, but nothing about AC. Like to hear from all you owners out there.
