Put the 4k into the FD, it performs best on the racetrack.

that car has a lot of history it was in a cop chase and cops hit the car giving it a salvage title so i don't think it will be let back on the road other then that it is not a bad car it had some perty good pep last time i saw it.

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me considering all the mods. Without the possibility of a title and given the ever diminishing desirability of these cars perhaps you'll be able to get a fair bit off that $4k.

Why would you buy a car with a fucked up title?

Usually desireable as track cars. Typically since the car can't be reunited with the road (legally) the pricing is more..... flexable.

Damn good price on that car .... Doesn't make sence how cops can put a title on to never be licenced again by another driver, amazing what they can do these days.

I'd buy it for the cop chase history, then re-vin it to keep up with the badassery.

Good price, but it does suck that it can't be put back on the street. If all you're after is a track car though, I'd say go for it.
