...Rustproofed? Although, it does'nt look as pleasent or edible under the hood, no rust present and the entire body is in immaculate condition.
Would any of you still consider buying one?

Most Midwest R's have undercoating if that's what you're talking about.

waxoyled? I've heard about people doing this to cars in England.....but haven't heard much about people doing this to cars in North America.

Buy the car, and remove the waxoyl.

Nope, actual brown wax all over under the hood. Undercoating is done on the underside of the body.

Ive got that under my hood. As long as there is no rust, I couldnt care less what the engine bay looks like. Im not going to be entering any car shows.
Road salt is the enemy.

If the Cosmoline has been applied correctly.. yes

This is the only site I could find on short notice..

http://www.aliveweb.com/protectants.html

It looks like a thin application of thinned candle wax.

It seals the metal form the elements.

It needs to be applied correctly to protect like it should

GET IT. Rustproofing only adds a few pounds.
