Default questions about 69 chevelles

hello all .new to this site. been looking on line for 69 non SS or SS clones.
a few questions.
some say the car was a original SS, however, they have rally wheels, not the SS wheels? wouldn't the car come with SS mag wheels?

another car has factory air, but owner did a a.c delete, . can the factory system be re instated, or is going like vintage air better or cheaper? the car needs compressor, brackets, air box, etc. but has the dash controls and vents.

I know rust can be a issue. before I would attempt to buy, I would have a mechanic at where the car is to see car. I don't like ebay, cause I don't like bidding on a car I know nothing about. but craigslist is more practical to me.

what are the major things to look for in these cars besides rust? I see a lot of the cars have these under dash gauges for temp., oil, and tach. I don't like the look of these, but I guess the factory gauges don't have these.

I see a lot of junk out there for high prices, and some cars seem more reasonable. I am looking in the 9 to 11K range, and I know they will need some work at this price, but don't want a rust bucket or junk either.]

there is a local chevelle club here I may join too.

also, some states don't have titles to cars over 20 yrs old, and one car I looking at is this way. I don't like that as how does a person ascertain there is no lein or other owners. I know car registration is prob the only thing to go on.

anyway, thanks for the tips!
