I'm getting the vehicle for more than a decent price.
From what I've been told, which could just be BS, the
engine and transmission have been re-built and it has 300k km
on it (roughly 190k miles) + its a V-8
Before I purchase it, I'm having a mechanic inspect it from beginning
to end. Besides the AC, what else should I keep an eye open for?
Any parts need more attention than others?

thx again for all your help.

If the front-end steering components haven't been rebuilt/replaced
since new, you should take a look at that. Tie-rod, track bar,
steering stabilizer, etc. If these parts are worn, you could be in
for the very unpleasant "death-wobble" when hitting irregularities in
the road. The track bar especially is prone to wear out around 75,
000 or 80,000 miles.
