Pics without link
The link worked for me, but the pics are really tiny. I'll post them for you to take a look at. Can't change their sizes. So, what are we lookin at here hoss? 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.

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?

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.

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

She was before the puree...
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'...
