You can tell that the previous owner took care of the car, I bet the reason why he painted the silver color was because it started rusting and he figured that he could get away from doing a whole new paint job by just painting it from the body line down. I got to gives props to the previous owner :D

Other than some surface rust spots seen in paint (notable rear passenger fender) the only rust I have seen is in the transmission tunnel of surface rust, and very small place.

May be correct on the paint issue, but don't know.
For the year, most of it is in great shape, and with it coming from NC, it passed inspection in 2010, so I would say that is why it has been kept up. It runs well, and the only thing I have seen unhooked, is the vacuum at the modulator valve.
