Have you seen this car in person? Do they have maintenance records? Before buying look for over spray, missing screws/bolts and any leaks.
With those miles a compression test is a must do. The price is pretty low, but the miles are high for a car that we all know that someone probably got on it ( they all do)
What are your plans for this car?

I checked everything out and saw the car. Drove it, looked over to make sure it was all good. Plans for the car is to rebuild the car and make it a track car. The car fax checks out pretty much.

from the one pic the breaks looks like there not fading....the paint.....but check the other ones out....that means the car wasent tracked or they changed the calipers....just look over it.
