Hi there, fellow enthusiasts! Reaching out for your expertise as I delve into the process of purchasing my first Chevy El Camino, particularly interested in the 1966 Chevy Malibu El Camino, though this is my first time buying a car older than 2000 cars. What are the pivotal factors I should weigh when considering this model? Furthermore, gearing up for a thorough inspection—any specific pointers on what to consider during that assessment would be invaluable. Looking forward to your invaluable insights!

Looks like mine. Primer with a dash of rust.
Rust will be your biggest problem with any old car. The surface rust showing through the primer doesn’t really matter much. Look for rusted out metal around areas that might stay wet, such as inside smugglers box, wheel well lips, tail light bezels, around windows, etc. Be thorough looking under the car for rusted out bed tower mounts, or just anything with more than surface rust.
