Need Lotts of Info
Hey everyone i dont normally come in the part of the forums cause i have a 3rd gen. now the last time i went to Gotham Racing i took my dad and he saw a Vert FC and became in love with the looks of the car 
. So i have been tryin to source a vert for him for the past couple of weeks. One day at wok i strated to alk to some guy and about my 3rd gen and he told me he had a red 88 vert that he wife use to drive bu since she has pasted he has driven it since. he just starts it up from time to time. Now this guy owns he on local repair shop and has replaced everything on the car so it would work for his wife and not break down on her. Anyways i went to check out the car and liked what i saw. The paint wasnt in that good on condition and it has a front Bra and so theres glue on the head lights. the inside in not that bad but it isnt perfect cracked leather seats on the driver side and some wear on the pass. i try to turn the car on but the battery was dead. so i asked one of the guys in the shop cause thats were the car was if they had a jumper box. they stuck it on there and it fired right up the RPM's raised to 3000 and then after a min they went down to idle. i check every thing in side and out the only problem is the window switch on either side isnt working. but it has a aftermarket radio and i guess the head rest speakers arent hooked up cause they didnt come on. a/c blows cold lights all work inside and out and the top works flawlessly. the car has 126,xxx miles on it and i dont what all he has replaced. Now i want to know if i should check anything esle on this car b4 i pay it. plz post question and ccomments. thnx (i just dont hope this will be as bad as my Fd)

Have your Dad take an extended test drive. The convertible looks great, but it isn't that sporty. Most econoboxes will kick its butt at the stop light. If your Dad really likes a high-performance car, he will become frustrated. OTOH, if he just likes something nice for a top-down, sporty cruiser, he'll love the car.
