Your money, your choice. Not a car I would want to own unless I knew everything about the build, how it was maintained, and how it was driven. But from the looks of it, it's probably been rode hard. Plus I'm not wild about the pro-stock hood scoop.

Would be tempting.... like Jack I would want to know every single detail about the car....who did what, when. Drive train included...
I guess it depends on what you plan on using it for also.... I don't think I would do it for a DD or taking trips... maybe for Shows and racing...

I bought my current car from them. Previous owner was bill newman who autocrossed it in jacksonville fl. It ended up here in orlando fl. Haven't had any drive ability issues with it. Of course I'll test drive it and take it down the street to my friend's shop and put it on a lift.

Well they are a car lot. A keystroke error for cams or an import guy doing the writeup. Msd wires aren't factory. And them being clueless would be why its priced at 17k instead of 25k.

With that said, I always look at the details to gauge the quality of the build and simple things like drilling holes in the dashpad to mount the gauges but not bothering to hide the wiring....surface mounting a toggle on the center console because they never bothered to look under it first for clearance to properly mount it...hacky. Granted it's built to go fast but the heavy wear on the INSIDE PASSANGER side bolster tells me its spent serious hours@ 1G. Reman alternator vs the extra $10 for new ect ect. Looks like a well worn shoe to me...I'm sure its fast but that ol' girl has been around the block a few times the hard way.
