Be careful passing judgment on the condition of this car by looking at some grunge underneath it. Sometimes, people hide things under grunge, and other times, grunge is a good preservative.
If you doubt John's truthfulness, then hop in the car or on an airplane and go over there and look at it. I have talked to John via email, and he has been very forthcoming with information and willing to let anyone take a good, hard look at his Giulia. A $300 plane ticket for a good examination of a $25K-$30K car is pretty cheap insurance to verify his statements. If you can stick your screwdriver up through it, then the grunge is hiding something. If (as John says) you can scrape it off and find pretty metal underneath, then be glad that grunge is there preserving this 43 year old car.
My '68 Junior doesn't have a "Concours" undercarriage. It has been driven and had grease and oil sprayed all over it for years. I can't afford to "detail" the underneath, so it stays dirty...and DRY so it won't rust.
FWIW.
