Looks like a bit more than "mild rust."
(first, thanks to one of our newest members of the Yahoo Chalet forum for alerting me to this thread, and thanks to "wheels87k5" for posting the ad here. I try to catch all of these ads, but my search links let me down particularly when the word "Chalet" doesn't appear in the ads.)
Okey dokey. I have to assume the seller means this is Chalet #0115, but if I was to offer help, I'd suggest fixing the typo of "1,170 made" considering our CK5 man Dremu put it at 1,780 made (using the quote out of this 1979 magazine article's 2nd paragraph) and I'd suggest better photos and maybe a re-think of what "mild rust" means. But in fairness to the seller, sort of, I have seen fender panels on a few of these eaten half away, but then that wouldn't be just "rust", it would be "probably rusted beyond all hopes of repair" or "extreme rust." But the rust on the fiberglass camper part is a whole other matter ......
