If it says ...
"...has some rust in the frame."
It must be really bad.

Rust bucket
You would regret it unless you are a professional welder/ fabricator. Look at the rust in the doors and the water running from behind the kick panel. I'd guarantee the car's birdcage is swiss cheese. It would all have to come out.

If you are looking to save this car and have about $30K over and above the purchase price, and a couple years of solid work this could be a nice car again. I agree with the others though... Based on close inspection of the pics, it is way far gone.

Shame on the seller for not providing enough info or pics to make a real good judgement. He may not know better or he may be hiding issues, you don't know until you look further. Owner is desperate (must go), so request more pics via email, or see if someone on the forum in that area will look at it for you. Any vert is worth checking out and making an offer.

I'm looking for a 70 - 72 and that's what I'm finding. These guys are nuts. Great buy for $4,000 that it!!! I'm sure there is frame and bird cage issues. It is a car I would go look at if close by.

Would have to pass on that. Parts maybe, if the top is good, it's worth some bucks to someone that needs one.
$2K tops would be my offer to take it off their hands from what I can see.
