"Owner thinks its never seen salt but I doubt he knows for sure. However, in spite of the car having lived all over the US before landing in Norway he says its 99.3% rust free. Some surface rust in the spare tire area, and a couple ugly rock chips and thats it. I'll be checking myself when I see the car, as well as sending it to a PPI if everything looks worth it."
I don't know the SCs well enough to comment on where to look, but I'd definitely be thorough with the rust inspection. Look under the battery, around all door, window, hood seals, inside the wheel wells, under-body, etc.
Yes, the SCs were far more rust-proofed than early 911s, but this car is old. It may have had some structural work that compromised some of the rust proofing. Be thorough and trust your gut.
Based upon what you say about the interior and the worn paint, I'd go in expecting to be able to negotiate him down quite a bit, especially if the interior is borderline on being functional (i.e. really worn seats, broken levers, etc.). Keep us posted!
