A simple question
I was wondering what would make the front sit so much lower then the back for suspension. When I say this I mean specifically the space between the wheel and the wheel well.
I don't think this is normal, but could my front and back springs/shocks be switched accidentally or something? The front springs get narrow further down(more like a cone). I am just making sure nothing was done wrong by the previous owner here and needs to be corrected.
couple pictures for reference

Broken/sagging springs or lowering springs at the front, perhaps? Because the rear openings are actually smaller, as on most cars, since the wheel doesn't need to clear the fender for steering. Alternately, maybe it has the wrong springs on the rear (although that would be difficult, the rears are a particularly tall spring, hard to mix and match with another car). In any case, it should not sit lower at the front, unless someone was trying to recreate the look of 60's and 70's muscle cars set up for drags. Which would be gay.
Afterthought: maybe you should look under the back and see if it still has the independent trailing arm suspension. Maybe a previous owner stuck a Ford 9" rear under there for drags.

The last guy was honest and right about everything he put on the car and he only had it for a year. Any idea what they would go for used so I would know what to expect? I wouldn't mind paying extra to have some adjustable coil-overs.
