There is a nickel-sized surface rust spot on the hood, and several at the bottom of the right front door. These are surface only, solid metal underneath. There are some nicks and scratches in the paint, with some very light rust in these. There are some signs of rust between the right rear fender and the apron below the rear window, in the seam where the fender welting rides. There is some rust on the rear door sills, underneath the rubber mats. It is significant, but not rusted through. Easily repairable by a competent body shop. The underside / undercarriage / suspension is rock solid, with some surface rust only, no rust through (or anything close to it) on the floor pans or rocker panels. Concerning the leather seats, there is a .75 inch tear on the driver seat, and a .50 inch tear on the front passenger seat. Back seat has no tears, nicks or rips. Anyone interested in inspecting the car is welcome and encouraged to do so...email me to arrange.
