Accident free as far as I know, if you would like the VIN to run a carfax I would be happy to give it to you. I havent noticed any rust anywhere after working on the brakes. I'm pretty sure it has been an all FL car. As for the paint I believe it is original. There are a few dings here and there and the pin stripe is pretty faded. If you want to come check it out for yourself you are more than welcome to.
