Ah, makes sense. He ought to say so in the listing! Anyway, he did reply to me, too. Here's what he replied to my inquiry asking if there was ANY rust on the car:

"there is not much visual rust now, but there was body work done on it and from what I recall it had some on the quarter panels and on the front lower panel"

I think I'll pass. If it doens't get any bids, I may go look at it next time I'm down his way. Maybe offer $400 or so if it if halfway decent (???).
