Picked up a 73 GTS with a 400/C6 with good interior. Bought car with a fairly fresh motor and trans not running. After a late model 460 starter upgrade and a fuel pump she drives good.
The "BUT" someone has skimmed the entire roof with a 1/4 inch of Bondo hiding a very rusted roof.
The rest of the body is nice w/ only some small spots of rust around the rear wheel wells. 
Originally built for and delivered here in California. A roof is my first priority and has been a challenge to locate so far.

Welcome to the forum.  Hopefully you will be able to find a replacement roof easily.  Maybe even a rust free one from Arizona or Texas.
