Will today's cars spontaneously rust away like the 914? Let's assume environmentally friendly conditions & no aftermarket rust inhibitors. I suppose an undercoating is acceptable.

I worked for a name brand fuel filter supplier to automakers for awhile.
Extended lab tests failed to validate adequacy of the SS grade being used. So at the automaker’s suggestion we went to the coast of Florida to examine filters off older cars. Year round salt exposure at higher temperatures accelerates the chemical reaction of rusting vs up north. |
