Is that strange? I’ve never purchased such an old car so don’t know how far back Carfax goes!
thanks in advance.

Yup. Carfax can be a decent reference, but I've seen plenty of cars with accidents or mileage discrepancies that have a clear bill of health via Carfax. These are old cars and a proper PPI with leak down/paint meter will tell you what you need to know.

Carfax records are pretty good but not all shops reported especially true in the 1990s.
Remember 1987 was a long time ago and Al Gore's Internet was just getting going early 1990s.
Not unusual at all.

Carfax =Insurance, not body shop.
Paint meter and a good PPI is the best you can do. I'll take a bad engine over a bad chassis/body every day of the week. Engines are relatively cheap compared to serious bodywork.
