Considering the condition, I don't think so. Really good deal IMO considering what has been done and how clean it is.

Buying cars from ebay is bullshit IMO, if they're too far you can't do any of the tests for coolant seals or apex seals, and you have no idea how it drives etc. This is especially worse considering its a seven...

Unless you buy a car from ebay and can actually make it down to wherever they are selling it, power to ya.

That car has been on ebay for the longest time.. Looks really clean, no comp numbers so it sounds iffy. But really clean though..

I was looking at buying it, but buying off Ebay still is kind of sketchy to me. Just a personal preference. Let us know how it runs when you pick it up!

Bid with confidence, this car will be a classic in a few years and it will only increase in value.
i thought this quote was kind of funny though..

says car dyno's at 320. did 2mm over apex seals on rotors when he had dave build th motor. has a fuel shutoff, and the Apex'i SAFC II, so......i prolly will get an apex'i turbo timer to be on the safe side, but who know. i hope it makes it back from KY., hahaha.....going to pick it up Tuesday the 22nd. i figured i got licky when i baught my 91 off the net, dint see the car accept some sorta crappy pics, and i am super fortunate on how great of shape the car was in when it arrived in my driveway, and the amt he was asking. so i think i'll be ok.

Nice car man, I think you did ok. What a car is worth to one person is different than what it is to another. I think you did ok I was gonna pay $7500 for a FC once when I was looking, I could not come up with the $$ though so I got mine for $3k. However it was bone stock no mods. I hope you enjoy it and welcome to the turbo side .

its a nice setup, that car looks great... I'm sure you'll love it.
