Jawerdna,
In all the time I have owned 99's, the most important things to look for are rust, then windshield, turn signal lenses, dash.
Most everything else is rebuildable/repairable/available from 900's.
As Gary said, the 77-80 are the best, but hatches were unavailable in the 99 after 78. 5-doors were 77-78 only. 1980 started the plastic gas tank.
I know this will be heresy to some here, but I don't even bother with B motors anymore and go straight to a 16V H motor. I even use the stock 99 K-Jet and ignition.
The short answer is, if the car is structurally/cosmetically sound, the rest is easy! (can you tell I love my 99's!)
