Make sure you save the samba ad...

Any 911 that need the floor pans replaced has rust everywhere... That should have been a clue.

It's all fixable. If the seller is willing to knock of several grand, you can fix it...

I assume the buyer isn't willing to take the car back? Few would.

You mentioned that the rust was not easily seen, and could only be found poking around on a lift with a screwdriver. Legally, that hurts you. If you couldn't easily see it, how was the buyer supposed to know?

This is way beyond small claims, assuming you already paid...

Which means a lawyer... So, let's say $5000 to start...

Try your best to work it out with the seller... Realistically, not sure I would expect them to take it back...

Here is what I learned from watching judge Judy...an as-is sale is just that, unless there is an implied warranty. Claiming in the ad that it's rust free, could be construed as an implied warranty. But the fact that you inspected the car, likely negates that...

Hopefully a lawyer chimes in...
