It was for sale (Craigslist) middle of 2014 in Ann Arbor, MI. It was rumoured to have had some severe rust. Maybe that is fixed now??

According to the mileage, it hasn't moved (under its own steam) since then (or the odo's broken).

Well, the listing does include this this comment:

"Solid shock towers and sub-frame, some floor rust and previous repairs."

 

So that is definitely something to inquire about.  Define "some floor rust".    Caveat emptor!

Tom, agreed.

 

There certainly is a bit of floor rust on the passenger side in this pic. Clogged drains on these cars can really reek some havoc...

Do I see some cracking on the right side of the rear sub-frame?

That or some type of undercoating flaking off...

Let's hope the later. Sweet car.
