Yup, and it'* southern because it has no rust! I looked at a few up here in MI, but they were all rusted out. Except for a few 03s that had been taken care of really well. I've heard 03s don't rust out as bad. I don't know if that is true or not.

Wow that is sharp, and in great shape. Congrats on the rare find!
Oh shucks, he spent all that money on a house, new car, now he can't afford the beer to give to friends so we can watch them all walk out the back door

i dont think any cars after 2000 or so had any kind of undercoat so you are on your own. if they put it on them selves it might be good in a rust belt area. my 03 monte i didnt just thought washing it would be good and it started to rot from the inside of the wheel arches and frame after it was 5 or 6 yrs old. my 07 i had undercoated

Being from Florida there was never a reason to have this car undercoated. I may want to do a oil based undercoat. I don't know how much I'll be driving this car in the winter weather. Hopefully not a lot. I do want to take it out in some cold temps. These superchargers love cold air.

i think i would, to protect the care already taken, they are bound to rust in the wheel wells just from rain. the plastic inner fender traps moisture on the inside there on that lip. my old monte was rusting there from the inside out. i had my 07 car done at ziebart, its expensive but they do free resprays and if anything they coated corrodes they will fix it free.
