Hans1965 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 That was me. Thanks a lot for posting but rust literally everywhere, too much for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans1965 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 1st rule we all learned - rust never sleeps. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Wow it gets worse the more you look and in really odd places. Looks like a hurricane or salt water bath survivor or something . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackofalltrades70 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I have rust free body available if someone here purchases this car. Needs a couple small pieces of floor pan replaced. I cut two small sections out for my convertible. Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 Looks pretty good to me for a project car. 1st, the bumpers are original (based on photos) and show not even a ding. This car likely survived all these years without an accident. The drivers front fender is full of rust, the rockers are, and yes there likely are soft spots in the floor but look at that original interior including carpet. If I have to buy a project, I like it to be original and complete, as this car is. What worries me more is the modern wheel and tire on the right rear. Is that indicative of a suspension swap? I hope not because that's a non starter for me. I suspect this one goes for $1500 +. The last few Sedanettes projects I have monitored have sold pretty quickly at asking price.

auburnseeker Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Analyze this photo and tell me how much rust this car has. I see rot not rust by the tail lights, the decklid of course as well as the Left quarter where fender bolts along the top. This is the rust that sneaks in from the back so by the time you see it. It's much much worse. I call it creep rot. Bumpers aren't necessarily original to a car. Aluminum painted ones are deifnitely not a bonus either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans1965 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 "There is rust in the quarters and frame and rear panel" says the description and the trunk lid is as bad as it can be. Bumpers ugly, too. But the body style is just fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
