Thats a lot of miles!! I got my 89 vert for $1800 and it has minor body damage. Its a rebuilt motor with only 45,xxx miles and a street port as well. I'd say no....

thats a lot, i would talk him down quite a bit, a motor that old doesnt have too much life left in it, even if it is well maintained

and you absolutely must get a compression test


and btw, its 13B, not B13

It's 13b and you'd be crazy to spend that much, look around you can find pretty good condition TIIs with half that milage for that money.
