Mk1 FS on Memphis Craigslist

[doubt at inwave.com (Nate Mellom)]

I guess one thing to consider, assuming it's spent it's life in 
Tennessee, how likely is it to be rust free?  I don't know much about 
them thar Down Southerners, weather, environmental conditions, etc, but 
I'm betting they don't use a lot of salt on the roads.
