    other than the gas can installed in front of the radiator, this one doesn't look to bad for the asking price.

    Is it worth nearly $7K with that kind of rust in the tailgate?

    Once upon a time you could have replaced the tailgate with a decent used one, but these are practically extinct nowadays.

    Right rockers look okay in the picture, but the lower wheel arch just above the dogleg is suspect.

    I wonder how much hidden rust it has.

    Yes, that tailgate looks nasty. Rust at the top and bottom. Odd, since the rest of the car looks pretty clean and unweathered.

    Another guy who can't vacuum the rug and take out the new? used? Fram oil filter from the back.

    Carpet looks rough in the back. I’m betting the gas can in the front was for water because it looks like relatively new rad. Hoses. I just hope the “new” master cylinder isn’t the one pictured E60F92E4-E5B9-4439-BFD0-5CAAB5E699AA.jpeg

    I think this one was for sale in Western PA at one time. I remember the rust on the tailgate.

    Tailgates are prone to rusting out first.
    The filter looks new. But, right. For the asking price, you would think he'd lift a finger, tidying up the car, for a photo session.
    Dig the whiskers. You even get those, for that price:
