Although it says "rust free" in his sig, I think he means "relatively rust free, for a 24 year old car located in Ohio". I looked at the large size closeups of the rusty spots.

That being said, it looks like the car attracted significant interest and might have brought more than the $1,625 bid if it was a "No Reserve" auction.
