Mileage doesn't matter much.
Whats the vin # ?
Has it been driven regularly?
Is the frame rusty up front.
Even though it's low miles it's probably gonna need the following very soon 
unless they've already been replaced.
Brake Master cyl, clutch master cyl, clutch slave cyl, tires, shocks, hoses, 
alternator upgrade, radiator, coolant flush, electrical upgrades or repairs 
(locks, fans, fuel sender etc..), probably caliper rebuilds front and rear, 
maybe TAB's (trailing arm bolts), door struts, trunk struts, louvre struts, 
tail light circuit board upgrade, steering col lower bushing, belts, O2 
sensor, etc...
Hows the headliner? Sagging? Has the foam deteriorated?
How are the door weather strips?
Any dents or dings?
Optional side stripe?
Five speed or auto?
Do the locks work?
Interior lights work and shut off on timer?
Clock work?
Radio original and working with display?
Antenna, electric, windshield or fender?
Louvre cracked?
Head light facia sagging?
Any sun damage?
Windows work and on tracks?
Window switches good?
Rear defroster and switch good?
