The lack of rust was probably the biggest plus for this car when I was looking at it.
I have done the rust repair thing - when I frame-offed my father's '61 Willys Jeep. I had my hand in those repairs since it is basically flat panels - and it seemed never ending. It was sentimental attachment that drove that project - but I learned to have a real critical eye for rust in any car I would buy to restore.
I am glad that I am not in the Northeast or Midwest - those folks often don't have a lot of choices and the Western cars are getting pretty picked over at this point.
