That thing is s rust bucket! He said in the description that he is relisting it as the original buyer couldn't come up with the cash. I think the guy got a look at it and realized it is a rustang. The current bid is too high. $5k would be about right.

Look at the pictures. You must become one with the rust, grasshopper. It is like an iceburg, the tip is about 10%. One 1/2" bubble in the paint is a 1" hole minimum to replace. A 1" rust hole is typically a 4" hole to replace. You see bubbles and holes in almost every panel when you look at the pictures. There are no pictures of framerails and floor, but I can just imagine.

What is that at the bottom of the rocker? Damage? Shadow? Tar? Huge hole?

It's a huge hole...but at least he was upfront and mentioned it in the ad where he states, "There is rust on the car. The drivers door is bad and the rocker panel on the passenger side has a large hole from rust. It's about 14" long. It does seem to go inside the door channel just a bit.'

14" long rust through....ouch! Not exactly something that you could fiberglass up.

Hope whoever buys this car knows how to weld

Rust bucket all the way...
Also, when you see heavy undercoating and more than OEM, the odds are against you
The car is already past $8K, ouch!

The one picture of the door had huge rust holes.So if it could rust there the rest of the car should be just as bad.
