Cool car, Jim.
The quarter panel rust isn't a biggie @ that price, IMO. Great find!

I dont know. kinda scary looking to me, those bubbles in front of the wheel, makes you wonder where else was disguised.

Rust never sleeps! What you see is always just a percentage of what hides beneath the paint.
I would pay a great deal more for a rust free example. I have dealed with more than my share of rusty vehicles over the years and have learned to hate it.

Very true but can't say w/o putting it on a lift, flashlight in hand, magnet in shirt pocket.
Looks like she got dinged w/ that peck @ top of rocker panel just below the flaky stuff.
