I'm guessing it doesn't pass the **** sniffer? I've been looking for a nice 3rd gen...You'd be the second local guy on this board with a car I was interested in.

If my current deal falls through, I'll be in touch with you and the other guy...

The front breakes need to be blead, and it needs a 650 carb the one on it now is waaaaaaayyyyy too big. you should have no problem trading an 850 demon for a 650 anything

What condition is the interior in?

Is the car able to make the ride home to Michigan if I pick it up?

You mentioned that the front brakes need to be blead?

If you could post some interior picks, that would be good.

I really shouldn't be entertaining the thought of another car (I have 3 now!), but this looks like a good deal. I still have several questions that hopefully you can answer.

Cylinder heads -
What size intake ports? What size valves? What size combustion chambers (do you know the compression ratio)?

Camshaft -
What's the advertised duration (INT/EXH)? What's the duration @ .050" lift? What's the lift? What's the lobe seperation angle?

Shortblock -
Do you know what brand crank/connecting rods/pistons? How many miles are on the engine? What type of oil pump?

Tires -
I see that you have Hoosiers on the Draglights. Are they slicks or cheater slicks? What kind of tires are on the original wheels and how much treadlife is left?

Thanks

Your right. He's pretty much giving it away at that price.
