the magnet test is used to tell if bondo or filler has been used to repair a car

best thing to do is take it to a reputable body shop or mechanic and have them check it out

magnet test is a cop out, cuz if the filler is skimmed thin enuf, a magnet will still stick. look under the car w/ a flash light and see if i has ben repaired and look for bubbling paint.

The standards of bodywork back in the day aren't near what they are (usually) today. With these old cars you'll find a LOT of very shady bodywork to be very commonplace... sucks but true.

check the trunk floor and the floor pans for rust. if the trunk has rust i would stay away from it. it is easier to put a motor in a good car.
