Apparently this is what passes for rust issues in CA?

    No roof racks, would make a great 442 conversion.

    If you could get past the rust!

    Rust issues are like icebergs.......you can usually only see about 1/10 of what is actually there.

    The base of the windshield on this wagon looks pretty bad & the outside may have had a California quickie done to it years ago hiding it's real issues. I have seen a fair share of bondo job cars from out West & with the faded paint job that most had you wouldn't suspect what was hiding until you stripped them down to bare metal. :badwords:

    If it's true that rust never sleeps, this one has to be an insomniac.

    I could be thinking of another vehicle, but I think that seller may have joined up here, and that rust may actually be worse that what you see in those photos. Didn't he mention 'cowl' rust? From what I remember in his post, the car is in Calif. now, but it came from the midwest......

    King's 'X' over this one, guys......
