Great. If it was far upstream on a river, it might have been flooded only w/ fresh water. I cringe recalling TV ads in the 1960-70's w/ a new car speeding along the beach at water's edge, spraying nasty saltwater up into the body crevices. Bet they sold those "new" at a dealer lot after the filming. At least you knew what you were buying.

Soon as you can, I suggest pulling the door panels and cleaning and painting. Those rust from inside out since the factory just barely painted inside the doors and not at all at the tops. Even w/o Sandy they get wet inside since it runs down past the window felt.
