Here is a link to a car I am seriously looking at I will probly do brakes, interior and a little more to the motor but overall it looks ok.

I would appreciate any input you guys helped me alot last time

I would be hard-pressed to pay $35K for it when there's rust on both fenderwells and another area. That means at some point a complete strip and it's usually worse when stripped than it appeared with paint.

I am actually trading him my truck link:http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/car/409612881.html

which I could probly only get 32k for. He told me he has friend that can fix the spots for 2k. I really dont know alot about old school cars so thats why Im asking all these questions to the pro's, you guys
I thank you for the replies.

I agree with Jody. I think he is asking and getting too much from you. If you are set on not looking at other cars, try to negotiate with him even more after you look at it. I am sure there will be plenty of "eye sore" areas after you look at the car (they all do).

I'm not trying to be a smart-ass, so if I do come off as one, sorry.

Since you do not know a ton about older cars, I would try and hook up with someone who does, if I were you. They can really help out and point out "what to look for", in an unbiased manner.

Seeing as there is already rust under the front lower trim, and along the rear wheelwells, there is more-than-likely rust in other places on the car. I would be VERY leary of this car. $32k should NOT have rust problems, but that is just my opinion.

If you can't find anyone on this Forum to help you out, and possibly hook up with and give the car a good "once over" I would check out Camaros.net and see if anyone there could help..

I dont think you are a smart ass at all. I have a friend of mine that is going to look at the car with me tomm. The guy is going to put it on a lift so well see what my friend says. He knows mores than me but I doubt he is an expert at this stuff. Anything you say will help I just dont want to end up with a mess, spending more koney than I have to. Thanka again for the responses

A agree with the previous posts, but when youy get under it, go over it very thoroughly. For $30 it should be rust free.
