Nice ride !

Pretty rare car in silver Jade. Has had paint work done as well as work underneath(mentioned by one person). I messaged the seller to see if they have the structural plate that SHOULD be bolted to the floor especially on a BB car.

My shop picked up on the frame, floors and torque.  Looks like someone had fun with a trowel and a 6 rack of Bud.  The plate and exhaust are next on their list.  Stay tuned for answers/insight from the seller-or not.

For the record: not a shop that I own and operate but rather one that I use to service my cars and inspect those for sale/at auction.

to my unexpert self car looks pretty dry underneath but looks like at some point in time someone slopped a lot of undercoating type material everywhere....with it being sold at a dealer in PA I would assume salt protection.....missing center plate probably dropped the driveshaft or worked on exhaust at some time...

To me it looks there at least a couple spots where there is probably total rust through, covered by some putty or some other product.

Pictures 256 and 280 are indicative of whats going on.

Its been my experience that rust is always 2x worse than you think.

Agreed Pete-pic 189 is troubling as well.  And agreed that the stabilizer plate was removed for either of the 2 reasons noted above.  All in all, not too too bad.  We asked for some add'l pics. on BAT and also inquired about why the car had a scatter shield in place of the factory bell housing?  Could it have been raced...

 Shouldn't there be a "Special Performance Vehicle" tag on the door in picture 314? Does that indicate that the LH door was replaced?

[Coralsnake]

It should have the Custom Crafted door tag above the warranty plate.

I guess its possible they missed one?

Not likely-respectfully.

Fair price, once again the market has spoken

Purchased by the owner of a GTO- and not the kind made by Pontiac! A little birdie told me he's sending the GT500 off for a full resto.

Good to hear it will be saved in some form or fashion .  Hopefully if it is to be restored to some kind of historical context the restorer will have enough sense to know his (or hers) limitations and reach out to places like this forum for help to fill in the blanks.
