STAG

Hi Everyone:

   A friend is thinking about buying a Stag.  He has found a 1972 with
an automatic transmission (strike one), AC, 65K miles.  The owner is
asking $3000.  It seems like a good deal to me.  The car is all
original as far as my friend can tell.  The paint and interior are
worn but in good shape.  My friend says that the car runs fairly well,
but there is a `howl' coming from the rear end.  

   My questions to you all are: 1) What can cause the howl and is it
easy to fix? 2) What else should my friend look for?  3) What should
the compression be on a Stag?  4) Is this a good deal?

  Thanks for any information you can give.
