Ultra rare early version of layering aluminum around the steel to make it lighter.

if you can't see the rust and dents, then they don't exist

Let's hope that wasn't intended to be a structural repair.

From where I am in Europe, Offerup won't let me see the ad. But from the pictures you've shared it seems there might be a nice frame beneath those "accessories".
