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.

Galvanized steel and advance coatings have changed equation.
Salt still a killer but nothing like before galvanized steel |

Yes, there have been some improvements, but here in the Northeast I see many vehicles without rocker panels or even the occasional car/pickup/van folding in the mid section. |
