All that matters, from a restoration perspective, is underside rust. These cars are the earliest unibodies and the underside contributes the major structural strength. The vast majority of these cars are flinestone mobiles and need underside repairs which are wickedly expensive (I have a coupe that needs about 15,000$ worth of work, most of it below deck).

Some notable features of the old ones are the presence of a sunroof or the adaptation to being a wagon or pickup. These options are rare and desirable. The sunroof can be transplanted. Lots of money can be spent fixing a wagon and it will be worth it in the long run.
