Advice/Help on 1990 Purchase Please

I'm considering a purchase of a 1990 Vette convt, True mileage unknown, but has a Paxton Supercharger installed. It also has a Ferrari Testarossa body kit and what looks like a custom interior in nice shape. I haven't looked at the car yet but I would like some help on What to pay, what to look for, and any help anyone can give. I have had a C-5 from new and then a C-6 from new, but never had any experience whatsoever with a C-4. The car spent its life in Florida, and I intend to do more research before going to look at it. ANY help greatly appreciated guys. Thanks, Al

Why would anyone ruin such a nice car by adding a body kit to it.

The 1990 model is loved by many as this is the last year of the C4's round tail lights and the first year of the newer style C4 cockpit.
You would be much happier with one that was not customized. The Ferrari style modded C4s are very difficult to sell.
