there's not a whole lot to worry about with the intimidator.

you might want to check the gauge cluster to make sure it's okay, also the transmissions tend to be weak sometimes with higher power, but you'll only have to worry about that if you get into quite a bit of modding.

other than that, make sure all the fluids are good, check for play in the supercharger.

other than that sounds like you'll have a nice car on your hands!

Welcome - The Intimidator is a good choice, the 3800 II SC car is a blast to drive. Just be sure and research here on how to safely mod the engine before you drop a pulley size.

Check for any leaks, rust, and check for proper Dale Sr. badging. The cluster gauge should have his signature, headrests should have legacy stitching, side and rear emblems, and passenger side of interior has badging...and if you're lucky special floor mats. Welcome and where are you located?

where was it leaking from? rpms jumping a little can be something like MAF or a bad tune. I would tell them that you'll be interested if they fix the issues
