You might want to pull a few pennies out from the spaces between your couch cushions.

Boy that rusted out rear bumper would make me want to double check the whole underside as I suspect it is rusted out and finished without some major restoration work.

I don't know if I would jump to conclusions about that car based on a spot of rust on the rear bumper. Judging from the pictures, that one spot is the only rough area on the entire car. Who knows? I've seen cars develop surface rust just from sitting in an average garage with wildly fluctuating humidity levels.

Overall, the car looks clean enough to merit checking out, but whatever.

True black knight it could just be a bad surface ulcer, but my year and half in NJ showed me just how nice a car could look on the outside but be a rusty bucket of bolts on the underside.

I agree the car is still worth checking out, but I would keep my hopes tempered till I had a chance to truly review the underside.

Very nice! I love that its blue - my favorite color! Not thrilled it's a bench seat model with crank windows (my mom's '83 GP was a LJ model with a lot of options, including bucket seats and full power). If only my couch contained enough pennies to make that happen!

By the way, my mom's '83 had the same rust on the rear bumper but no where else, when she got rid of it in 1993. Those bumpers must have used very cheap steel and I noted many GPs (and Regal, Monte Carlo and Cutlass models of the same generation) with holes in their rear bumper.
