I know the car and I know Phillipe. I have seen the car at least a half dozen times. While I was not looking for any rust neither did I notice any. I respect Phillipe and know him as a stright up guy if you have questions about rust just ask him. Even if it does have some rust issues the car is truly amazing to see in person I am VERY surprised to see it listed for sale. I was with him at PCI last month and he never mentioned that he even considered selling the car. I hope he is successful in getting the price he is looking for. Zieg
