Default Newbie - first stage inspection

Hi everyone, air-cooled masters et al.
I'm looking at my (potentialy) 1st 911, a 1983 coupe.
What would you recommend checking at first glance?
Car has 60,000 miles.
Any feedback would be much appreciated, please excuse inexperience.

is the glance over the internet or in person?

if the latter, drive it around, review service records & check for rust before paying for a PPI

^ agree and get owner history (past and present) and if first round goes well get the PPI

All the above and check for level of wear in interior & look underneath for oil leaks. They often do and a PPI will advise on that.
