Just thought I would post up a few pictures. A local guy that has a few mopars has this car. I thought it looked real nice when driving by, but when I got a chance to stop and take a look at the car it is obvious that it has rust issues.
I was told it had rust issues before but finally got to see it myself. I heard that the fella might scrap or part out the car. I was against it before, but after a close inspection, maybe.
If it does get parted, I'm into the windshield for sure. Not sure about tag details or other items but I will post more pictures when I bump into him again.

Didn't get under the car. It appears that it will have a rusted stub frame when visible. I've not tore one of these stub frames apart so I have only really seen them on the site here. Anyone have an opinion on how this thing will look underneath?

Amazing a car that looks that good from a few feet away can hide that much rust underneath it. Interior looks really nice too.
I wonder what the floors are like?
 
Rust issue is obvious, but looks like it also has a bondo problem. Recon it is completely salvagable, with the right amount of work and $ ;)
 
Since it has rust through at the rear subframe, there are probably rust holes in the front sub frame. If it's not too bad, you might be able to get a welder to weld in patches.
