The underside is probably very good with no rust. That Texas sun can burn
the paint off over time. I bet that car has never been repainted, the
factory paint has just worn off allowing surface rust. I've seen many old
western cars that way and a lot of them mush older. Still solid floors and
everywhere, just rusted on the surface. A good sanding, a coat of
high-build primer, more sanding, then maybe even a second coat of
high-build (at least in the worst spots) and there ya go! My wagon came
from Georgia and also had a lot of surface rust but was solid everywhere
else (except bottom of tailgate). Original paint, never repainted. The
roof was just about as bad as the hood on that Javelin, the rest wasn't
quite so bad.

1968 AMC Javelin - $3900 (Edgewood TX)
The above is also today's "AMC PIE IN THE SKY" award winner.
I can see $1500. Maybe.
Man, too bad about that deep surface rust. Any bets on what the underside
looks like?
