Car came from California and is very solid, some pinholes in trunk and floor, but don't need replaced. Looks like it was hit in the driver rear quarter at some point and fixed, some filler was used. Paint is average. interior could be redone if you wanted it to be perfect. Overall a very solid car with great performance. It is a paint job and interior away from being a high dollar car. I took it to the track a few times, best pass was a 12.25 at 116 spinning pretty badly, with lower tire pressure it should be able to run 11.70 to 11.90's. I am willing to sell as is or without the engine and tranny if you have your own. Good luck bidding. You can call me on my cell if you have any questions, 513-939-7077, Mike.
