I NEVER buy a car that I ASSUME REALLY IS rust free.If you cannot cut away all tht fresh paint and actually SEE whats underneath, then the best advice I can give anyone that is a potential buyer is Don't EVER buy a complete car by clicking the "Buy it now" button...Buy one that is a total POS at least you can see that rust.... ..Just like when I am selling 440's in the local trading paper here, I ALWAYS have one dumbass that can't control himself and just has to ask the stupidest question...
"Well, does the engine run?" You are buying a 40 Plus year old engine that I told you was NOT locked up, didn't NOT freeze to the best of MY knowledge, has all the parts including the HP manifolds, and the only bargaining chip you can come up with is "Does it run?" WTF?? I guess cause i buy engines and cars that nobody else wants, I buy as just that, CORES...I do not care if it ran 25 years ago when your pop had it in that Chrysler...
I do not care how much rust is in the quarters, I buy cars knowing full and well that at the very least, I will need to replace the quarters as a given...You can bend over in public, drawers down, and 15 people will walk right past you...It's that 16th person you gotta worry bout that's gonna Screw you to the wall simply because he/she can....I'm not saying what this guy is doing is legit, right,wrong, indifferent...All I'm saying is there's a phrase that still rings true today as it did yesterday....Buyer Beware....
