Check the floors from the bottom up.
Jack up the rear of the car and pull on the rear wheels and check for extra play.
Jack up the front of the car and check the front wheels for extra play.
Check the brakes and adjust if necessary (not sure if mechanical brakes).
Check Radiator for leak stains.
Check water pumps for leaks.
Check engine for compression.
Ask for any service records (always a huge plus).
Check the electrical system visually

This is just some of the things off the top of my head, I'm sure more will be added.
GOOD LUCK !
