"Floors are solid..."

Thats the rare see through glass bottom floor option, glass is just MIA.... RPO code "vista floor". Come on its in the spec book right under vista roof! Its 1 of 1....and worth thousands! Popular option among fisherman and flint stone fans. Floors are solid, brain is dead...jeesh

I have a convertible parts car that is almost that bad. I had a guy come to buy some parts from me and commented at how solid the floors looked in it. I though he was joking than he ask how much I would take for them if he cut them out. I told him he could have them if he did the work of cutting them out and he is supposed to be coming in the next couple weeks to get them, lol. This is the same guy that bought two of my parts cars that were almost ready for the scrap yard and is "rebuilding" them to road worthiness.

Joe, I don't understand what the problem is. Those floors are neither liquid nor vapor nor plasma. They must be solid.

The trouble, though, is that while they are neither animal nor vegetable, and so are therefore mineral, the mineral that they are is not iron, but is instead iron oxide.

I just drove 5.5 hours to Cincinnati to see a cutlass convertible that was "an original car with the most rust free undercarriage" only to find a car with new quarters ( that where rusty) draped over the original ones that where rusted a good foot from the bottom. The dash VIN was rusted out. The quarters had bondo slathered on and not sanded or prepped before painting. When I said I thought we discussed an original no rust car he said " I thought I described it accurately, sorry".

That ain't rust. That's a special - um - rust-preventative coatin' that repels rust.

That stuff there'll never rust. Never.

Ain't that right, son?
