All of the suspension rubber is likely beat and deteriorated.
If they are in workable condition,a longer term schedule can be made for replacement and or upgrading. Some '72s didn't come equipped with antiroll bars,a feature most desired up front. Careful with that engine,do not attempt to turn it without an internal scope inspection. Any rust in the bores will break the piston lands upon startup,one cylinder has been open for 23 years. The lubes must be re + re'd,being kinda funky by now. Having a look at the clutch condition and its cable is a must,avoiding headaches later. All of the drivetrain cv joints and bearings need inspection too. The FI system is a task for an expert,the pinouts on the electrical harness critical to it's function. Good looking car,a thorough going over will reap good results.
