I suspect that the car is hiding alot of rust. Those stainless still
rocker panel covers may make it hard to tell how solid they are. Those
extra holes in the back are for a license plate light and a luggage
rack. The car looks like it has had a quick "once over" for a quick
sale. If I had to buy it from the pictures, I'd go no higher than
$1500. Just my 2 cents.
