Yes, the vehicle is still available. I was questioned about the car's underside and there doesn't seem to be a rust spot on the car, in fact... it looks like someone undercoated the entire underside with a thick rubber coating so the underside looks great! Someone is going to get a great vehicle and it has been in storage through the winters and driven when the weather was nice. You will notice it rained the day I took the pictures and this is the first time in a very long time it actually seen rain.

Cheers,
Allen

No rust underneath or anywhere on the car. Garage and in storage most of its life.

Great car for the money.

Thanks,
Allen

I asked my wife to get me this car for X-mas, and of course that didn't happen. I did, however, get Washington Redskins golf club head covers.

Can't believe this car hasn't sold yet. I've got watches that cost more.

Free bump for ya.
