Help with pre-purchase evaluation

[vwdoc]

Hi , I'm in the process of buying my first bug. I recently came across a gentleman (3rd owner) in my neighborhood who is looking sell a 1968 beetle.
We are new to the area (Lansing) and don't know anybody who could help assess the car.Can someone from this forum help or guide me ?
(Pictures attached of what we could see)
Car has been repainted once , but needs a fresh coat..interiors need restoration but are otherwise original to the car.

Is this the one on Dobie road half way between Grand River and Jolly? If so, I drove by it a couple times and it looked ok from the street. I am in Williamston and could check it out with you if you need help. txt 5172046673
