Went and had a look at it this evening. car is at a open lot repair shop dealer. Went without owner knowing. she is beautiful. Underside from what I could see from rolling around was mint. solid 8.5-9 out of 10. 2 body plugs starting to show rust. hole is still complete. driver side rocker rust starting at joint. Right front fender has heavy surface rust right at arch. looks like old accident bad repair. metal is still thick and there. easy fix.
glass is intact. cant see anything that scares me. drivers seat is shot. no bigger. this thing is ripe for a fiull resto. says he has receipts for 17 000 since 2006. im interested to see these. Ran a carfax on vin. 3 vandalisim claims and 3 accidents. both around 600 dollar claims. front right fender. back left fender. Also front center claim for 1400. Nothing I could see from outrside car. when i go to meet seller tomorrow gonna have a good look in front engine bay and frame rails now that I know accident history.
Car has been a manitoba car its whole life and has no rust. I believe now it was summer car and always stored in a garage. Only rust of any signifigance is gas cap area. and that was even minimal.
Im really excited but waiting for the rub. Something has gotta give here. But he seems torn on selling cause he is so attached. but he wants it to go to a good home. Seems too good to be true though.
Says he will sell for $1200 without the rims he had on it. They are old VW spoke rims.
Carfax is good, if vin matched engine bay cowl and door cards, his license matches registration, and interior looks as clean from outside as it is on the inside, this car is a slam dunk.
