Welcome. But don't give up hope, you may have a car worth your time and effort, and the enjoyment of building it all back. At least, I hope so for you !

Top o' my list : 75-81 GM F-body Camaro and Firebird, especially the Smokey Bandit Trans Am. Overweight slugs. In my view, the poster child of the 70's of a great car transformed into a loafing oaf. If I had the $$ at the time I might've bought a 73/74 SD-455, one of the best cars at the time...
"How airtight were b-bodies when new?" asks the OP. Well, I worked on these cars when they WERE new and almost new. It seems every Mopar that came into the garage had a symptom of wind noise... or a leak... or a rattle... if it were a 70-older car. Those symptoms were nowhere near as prevalent...
From my personal experience back in the day, the b bodies up to 70 were not very good air, water, or rattles. The restyle in 71 was a dramatic improvement.
Wow... what a beat. A true legend of rock. The days of my 8-tracks of Master of Reality and Vol.4 blasting away in my car... and still do. Rock in Peace, Ozzy.
