Michael,
The white car looks good, but the engine and transaxle have had fresh, but light coats of paint applied only to the visible faces (back of heads and top of ZF). This doesn't indicate anything other than the sellers know how to pretty up the car for sale. I would DEFINITELY request an independent inspection before you commit to buy.
The Black '71 form Ontario looks nice, but the seller said it had a lot of rust when he bought it and he repaired/replaced a lot of metal on it when he restored it a long time ago.
Several of us took lots of pics and can e-mail them to you if you wish.
Good luck in your search!
