Advice of Bugeye buy and use

The pop riveted on SS covers are probably just cosmetic but I agree that you will miss the foot room with the flat floors he has put in. That would not be a deal killer for me provided other areas are good and the price is right. Its not uncommon for someone to not keep the rain out and a fairly solid car can have bad floors. Rut covers the really important parts though. From what little I see of the rear spring mount it could be fairly solid.

I wish there were some under body pics, but from the list of work done? and the pictures, this car looks like a good candidate. Ask for some additional pictures and get someone to check it out...might be the car!

Agreed. Unless there's a lot of badly done rust repairs, it looks like a really good buy.

Move quick, I don't think it will last long, barring under body problems.
