I gotta tell you, when I bought my BJ8, the first time I have been in one
since 1973 and knowing what rust did to cars, back then, I was quite happy to
see undercoating. I'm sure it was a major reason the underbody was in such
great shape.

But, caveat, I was looking for an original driver, not a restored car and if I
was to restore it, I wouldn't undercoat it, because I know the car will be
treated such that it wouldn't be necessary.
