I'm pretty far from this car. Would have to fly down to inspect.

Here is what the owner said about underbody corrosion. What do you make of it?

Could you describe more fully the "underbody corrosion"?
It is only superficial corrosion on the underside and on the lower sides; this car was sprayed underneath with undercoating about 15 years ago, which did protect it well. Left rail or main beam under the car has a dent, probably something hit it underneath, but doesn't affect anything (aligment or ride)
Also, has this car ever been wrecked?
Has never been wrecked
Other than the rear windows, are all other items in good working condition?
everything else works fine
What is the condition of the engine and transmission.
they are both original, both work well and reliable. "Top overhaul" done to engine (piston rings, valves, springs, timing chain) 5000 miles ago. Clutch is new, transmition had bearings changed when top overhaul was done


Assuming the "some under body corrosion" is not too bad. The original wheels are included. You can always use the ones on the car now as artificial reefs.
