Having owned my coupe for over a decade, I thought I'd address the topic of rust...
It seems to me most would-be owners, or those looking to knock our cars down always elude to rust. While it is a serious issue, here is why I think it's beyond overrated....
Let's think that the makers of these fine cars had trouble letting them go to new homes....and they were made just to satisfy the here and now of the 70's....
What man puts up the best of anything without a price? In our case it was rust....so all that Italian design, Etcc pedigree, pilarless driving comes at the expense of that flaw.
I think we should be greatful these cars even existed and try to save as many as we can...and not always address their Achilles heel.
