Richard,
  Not wanting to ruin you dream, "there is no rust in Texas",  but it is 
imported! 
Some cars are brought in from the rust prone areas to get a Texas title and 
advertised as Texas (or California) cars to the poor European. A guy 
recently 
bought a "Texas TR6" that ended up having a Michigan (land of salt) title. 
  My GT6 is a prime example of the combination of  British steel and the 
Texas climate. Imported through Houston and living in Texas over the last 25 
years (except for 2 years Florida for business) it is a real rust free car 
right down to the last screw.
