You maintained a 66 T-bird so you have an eye for value and what it takes to maintain that value.

Talk with the owner on his service records, borrow a diagnostic ( or a quick stop at an auto parts store on your test drive ), test the brakes and notice tire wear. Open the hood and check color of oil on the dipstick. If you would cater a meal cooked off the engine, you are on the downhill stretch.

.........whats he asking?
