What's the definition of a little rust in northern Illinois?

[68-300]

Saw this one on CL and I'm a bit confused as to why anyone would call this a little rust?

Hi Alex,

yes, some northern guys will call this solid.
Once was interested in a GTX in Michigan. Guy told me it is solid it needs only trunk, floors, complete quarters, inner&outer wheelhouses and front fenders.

There is a big difference in southern california rust and northern Ohio little rust.

A little rust is a term that varies from region to region.

This is a little rust. My truck has been an Indiana truck its whole life. You will see the bad spot toward the front. I have seen the rockers completely rotted out and defined as "some rust."

I guess "a little rust" in this case means you have to weld in just one very large piece of metal...

That Chrysler should have been listed as "rust FREE". As in no extra charge for it.

Because if it was a lot of rust, the lower trim would have fallen off.

Because it still has door handles ?

Well at least the skirt is still hanging in place so there is still metal in that area.

be careful Alex, it will have rust underneath, too.
Check the framerails closely, the rearextension etc.
Looking at that quarter it would like to know how the inner and outer wheelhouse look a like

Was this the one that was fished out of a lake?

By the looks of it, I'd say yes...

I've figured the Michigan definition of "no rust" is if you can look at the car from the side and still make out an outline of a car, then it has "a little rust".

It is odd how much worse the passenger side appears than the left side. Maybe they only salt the shoulder in that state LOL.

It would be called a pile of garbage, the same thing it was when it was new.
If it was found in a lake they should have left it there.:icon_puke_l:

Carsten, don't worry, I'm looking for a least a #3 and preferably better 2dr 68 300 or a 65 NY 2dr or town sedan. This one popped up in my custom Google search, I check all the results to see if there is anything there to share on the forum, the price on this one seemed fair given the description until I saw the pictures.
