    Does seem pretty good, JIm - but there's a catch in the seller's description: "...barely any rust". This could mean different things to different people. "Barely any rust" in Chicago could be quite different from "barely any rust" in Los Angeles.

    True, very true Marshall! But us Easterners and Mid-westerners have very low expectations when it comes to rust - a car without any rust at all is a real find for us! :)

    Based on the excellent condition of the bumper, I would say that any rust there would be very minimal. The type that can be fixed with a Dremel in an afternoon kind of minor. This is a car I would simply love to own!
