What should I do in terms of inspection? What are the most important things to look out for and have checked out?

Appreciate any and all advice.

I'm not nearly as adept as most of the very helpful folks on this site, but I recently went through a long distance purchase of my '88. I started by finding out from the owner who had been doing the maintenance on the car. I then had a long chat with them. When comfortable, I found a friend-of-a-friend in the area who was kind enough to give the car a look and test drive. Worked OK for me. Aside from this apprpoach, I believe there are organizations that do inspection work. Good luck!
