From the tiny pics the rust issues appear to be surface only. Can't really tell much else. How's the rest of the exterior on the car? Did you check the trunk floor and floorboards under the carpeting to see how they look? PS: I can only load 20 images here, so I deleted the ones of the upholstery and the 2 closeups of the mufflers.

How many different areas are you going to make the same post in???

Nilsson · October 14th, 2009, 05:39 PM

From what I can see that appears to be not much of anything. You want to see real rust come to Ohio.

ent72olds · October 14th, 2009, 06:09 PM

Doesn't look that bad!!! That's showroom in the Norteast!

7244too · October 14th, 2009, 07:38 PM

What ent72olds said X2 for a northeast car thats been driven not babied it's not bad at all.
Now if that's a Arizona or Southwest car they pulled it out of a northeast state first or a pond!

At least it doesn't seem to have undercoating slathered all over it so you can't see much of anything.

I agree with the others on checking the trunk, floors, cowl and the usual areas. Just my $.02.

What's the asking price?

csstrux · October 16th, 2009, 09:06 AM

Granted the images are small so am probably losing detail, but by WI standards that looks to be a clean car. Easily cleaned up an made pretty again.

Yeah! What he said!!

Seems normal, frames and heavier steel suspension parts often will have lots of surface rust whereas body sheet metal can still be very good. The usual places to check are wheel wells, fender bottoms rocker panels etc. The visible sheet metal looks pretty good.

68conv455 · October 16th, 2009, 05:11 PM

If you can't stick your hand through it, it's not so bad. At least that is the Northeast philosophy.
So....What is your concern? Did you just buy it?

Nilsson · October 16th, 2009, 05:42 PM

If it is a hole big enough to throw a cat through it is serious. If you have to puree the cat to pour it through it is repairable.

davepnola · October 29th, 2009, 09:10 AM

well got the car and needless to say it was definetly not what the listing on Ebay read, go figure.........The car needs a floor patch or one rail under divers seat and right side of trunk pan was somehow forgot to be welded. A few other panels that still need work, good looking car, but really just a car with a good paintjob, rear spoiler, w30 hood , and new top, thats it...........story here is BUYER BEWARE !!
Question to replace the floor or sections of the floor can it be done without damaging or the paintjob on the car now . Also the motor is stock 350 rocket it stumbles when the secondarys open up on the carb, I am thinking on what upgrades or is it really worth upgrading a 350 rocket ?? Thanks

sworthy555 · October 29th, 2009, 06:02 PM

That why the we call it evilbay. Most of my purchases are okay but was spooked to buy a car. Glad I waited and bought one local.

Good luck!

Finally, someone defines the undefinable. Rob, Can I borrow your blender.

I promise to have it back so you can have Daiquiris by Sunday.

Go ahead and keep it a little while and make some drinks. It gives a very unique taste to pina coladas now...

Kinda like 'kibbles 'n' sh*t'...

If originality is not an issue drop a 455 in it and let it rip.

therobski · November 6th, 2009, 07:43 PM
