Worked 88 non-turbo.. how much???

I'm pickin up an 88 non turbo hard top this weekend. Its got under 100,000 on the body. New motor, ported, polished sleeved. MSD, full exhaust, racing tranny and rear. Body is straight, interior is clean. Set up for a turbo, just needs the turbo and computer. The car is fast how it sits tho. I'm new to Jap cars so I'm tryin to get an idea of what its worth. Anybody have an idea?

I smell bullshit.
If the owner it telling you is just needs the turbo and the computer, they are full of ****.


The car is fast how it sits tho.
I dunno what you been is that is considered "fast", but the majority of non-turbo FC's are slow.
If you want "fast", get a ride in a modded FC turbo.
You'd probably **** in your pants.

But I smell bullshit all over the deal.
Unless the owner will come clean and drop the BS, I would walk about from this one.

Side note, unless your from the UK or Aussie, the word "Jap" is derogatory.
Please use the word "JAPANESE" instead.

unless that car has pistons in it, it cant be sleeved. i agree with reted, unless he drops the BS, your best option is to walk away from the deal. cause youll probably end up finding LOTS of things wrong with the car after a week of driving it. it takes a lot more to turbo a car than just a turbo and computer. max id give him is ~2800 being in NY givin his BS. here in texas i MIGHT give him 2k for it.
