Post by Mrpatatomoto »

Anything to watch out for? Any common rust spots?

I doubt you will see much rust in a CA commando. They do get rear quarter rust, so worth checking.

Looks pretty solid, AND it has a hard top!!

Turned out to have a couple rust holes and a few decent sized dents in the fenders, needs tires, registration is a year out and the hard top has been used as a shelf and collected some major dents. Ended out not getting it.
