240 General: Today I saw a literal rust bucket

[SalvadorP]

Few days ago a 244 popped up on facebook market, locally, like 3kms from my place. 2 pics and you could see it was very rusted on the bonnet. But it was so close to me I gave the guy a call.
Told me the engine had an overall 5 years ago, he did a classic car show with it and the car has been parked outside since then.
The car has only 63k km.

I went to see the car, which is parked in a body rapair and paint shop. After talking to an employee it gave me the impression that the owner brought the car there maybe to repaint but then never did it. He said 5 years ago the car was very good mechanically. I trust him, because when I first talked to him he refered to the car has "trash". So he clearly has no skin in the game.

The car is just rusted beoynd belief. It's a shame. It's not everyday you come across a car of this age with so little mileage.
Also, besides the cracked dash, the interior is prestine. The body is very straight too, despite all the rust.
