This is #24165 at the time of purchase. It is shinny, runs strong with no particular noises. Of course it has rust that you can see from the outside like the inside of the rear fenders on the back of the door pillars. A lot of the rest stays hidden either because one is too shy to tear away the carpets that are glued on the bottom of the car or because one trusts the seller who’s handing you a flashlight to look under the car, claiming that he has no lift to put the car on for inspection. The car is so low that either you know exactly where to touch or you need have it on a lift to see the underside.

The car looked very nice. Just like this “driver quality” car with “some rust in the doglegs” that you can see on ebay anytime and that you are tempted to bid on at $xxxx . Be careful...
