The seller told me all the floor pans were replaced. If you know something I don't please tell me now before money changes hands.
He did replace the hood..I did not see the BEFORE pics.......only the ones since it has been repaired.
I just got that gutt kicked feeling..........

I don't know anything about the car other than the original thread when it showed up for sale last May.

The car looks like a typical, "left outside for 25 years Florida salt spray car", which can be worse in some ways than "Driven 5 winters before I bought a front wheel drive crapbox" northern car.

When looking for rare, specific cars, you have to take what you can get. I like the car a lot, but can't decide if I would go with the height and add nobbies or put more appropriate, lower springs in there.

I have cancelled the deal, since the recent information was brought to light regarding the rust issues.
Once bitten, twice shy, I've been bitten too many times.

If the hood is good it looks like the lower metal that needs replaced is the normal G-body stuff.

He has already replaced all of the floor pans in the car, but the rockers/doors might have gotten a Por 15/bondo treatment considering above the belt line, the doors look the same color, but below the beltline it looks like fresh paint.
