I have located a 1964 Corvair Monza Powerglide and would like to know if the sellers asking price ($3500) is fair. I am new to Corvairs but not to rear engined cars. Below are my questions followed by his responses sent through email.

Is there any rust (battery area, floor pan, rockers, rear quarters panels, door jam, front trunk, around windshield, body etc.?
"I've removed the carpet and painted with rust inhibiting paint but never replaced the carpet. Any rust(what there is-is only thru the paint, no soft spots or THRU metal at all.. There is one thru paint on windsheild or rear window.."
Any oil leaks?
"What corvair doesn't at least drip.. ha. Yes it does about an inch in diameter between starts/runs.."

What is the body tag?
"ID plate reads something like this:

Is it a numbers matching car?
"Believe all the paint is original exept for one fender. bought from a Mo individual who said he got it out of a barn in OK. The top paint looks like it was covered with a canvas or something. No rust but worn spots. I can try to take some more detail photos if you'll direct me..I'm not a restoring individual..."
