Bugs me when folks say no rust and there's rust, also where the original exhaust, are those front seats original.

I like how he says he doesn't have the time yet he will trade for a boat lol. I'd say $15000 on a good day with someone that has to much money lol.

Sounds like the 'Detroit Scale' of rust:

No rust (nō-rəst): Surface rust; maybe a few small holes.

-A little rust (ā,ə-ˈlidl-rəst): Quite a few rust holes. The rocker panels and fenders probably look like Swiss cheese.

-Some Rust (rəst): There are no floors or rockers left. The fenders look like they’ve been chewed on by a rabid beast.

-Rust (rəst): This thing is a freaking death-trap.

-Has A Solid Frame (haz-ā,ə-ˈsäləd-frām): Expect the frame to exist in some form, but the rest of the body will be wrecked beyond belief.

-Major Rust (‘mājər-rəst): You’ll be shoveling this car into a bag with a broom and a dust pan.

Right, that's like these guys that say they are selling a saw because it's to heavy, then say they are looking to trade for a bigger saw, liar!

I know this all to well although I've never seen that list or the link, both funny but sad.
Many times when I contact someone and ask about rust they will say, it's Michigan what do you expect you won't find something that's not rusted. First of all, I know exactly where I am, second don't tell me what I will and won't do, I typically buy cars that have come from out of state with no Michigan rust. When I'm looking at an ad and they have a picture under the hood I automatically go to that picture to see if I see any rust bubbles around the bolts, if I do I get back to searching. When I'm looking for a car truck I will search rust free, no rust, out west, down south and I always find something to spend my money on even if it isn't exactly what I was searching for lol.
Oh one thing I like about Detroit, seeing it in my rearview mirror :b1:.
