Ok Mopar guys what should i look for when picking up an old 71 Dodge.

they guy selling it thinks its a old super bee

some of the quarter panel rear are rusted and front floor boards. Frame is ok ...

engine stock 383 Mag, orginal slap stick tranny . Interior is ok usual wear and tear.

checked the vin

XM29M1A 102113

My son think the world turns on rice burners ...
Check the trunk for cracks along the frame rails. Also look at the rocker panels really good. I have a few questions on your Vin number though. The 5th digit that "M" shouldn't be there for a 71. Check again it could be a "N", AND another thing is that in 71 chargers used a "W" instead of an "x". It could be a earily 71 or a late 70. Its to bad that the engine code wasn't a "R"(426 hemi). Any who if it is a "N" its 300hp 383 4 barrel. Its not a Super Bee though. If the first letter was a "M" you would have a super bee. This car was made in Hamtrack. Super bee's were made in Louis. I would be able to tell you more if you have a fender tag or body tag. Engine tag would really be helpful.
