Looks like a pretty good deal for the last year Electra convertible; - these were very nice cruisers, and you'll never get a convertible cheaper than one of these.
My (salt free) Wildcat had rust in the trunk in the same spots. A design flaw allows damp dirt to accumulate in the area where the chassis mounts are located behind the wheel wells. I had to repair mine to pass inspection for plates. It isn't realistic to expect to find a full size of that era without some corrosion if driven in salt or not. Still a good car for the money.
