I got a call from my brother about a month ago saying he had found a car for me. I called the guy and set up a meet next time I was home. We played phone tag a couple of times and I looked at the car for about 5 minutes on the way to my mothers. I said $500 and went on. I did not do a close inspection because it was in primer black. Car was loaded with crap and in the back of the garage.

Well, Monday he called and said the $500 was okay. Eight hours and 500 miles later I made it home. I started pulling the crap out and low and behold the floor pan were intact. 2 drain holes punched but solid. I checked under the front hood seal not a spot of rust. Front latch area has a little damage but not rusted. So I opened the engine compartment and to my supprise the battery tray and hell hole only have surface rust. Whoa! Next stop the rear trunk. Surface rust only but not in the corner edge. I checked the body for damage and could not find any. Usual dings etc but very clean.

Pictures later today.

Grats Mark. But we gotta have pics...

How am I supposed to be excited with no pics.

Congratulations... maybe you should buy a lottery ticket!!!

Oh, and, of course...

Yeah, I agree, you can't start braggin' to us unless you got the pics to back it up.

Post 'em, please.

Nice score. I paid $900 for a rust free bare chasiss with no parts.

At first I wasn't stunned- but I see now. Thats dang near rust-free as I've seen. A little blasting and done!
