price seems right, go check it out .. looks great.

I got my '91 Z28 for 43oo$, tho the underbody needs por-15, winshield cracked .. lots of noises ..

A test drive should answer your questions ..

I looked at the car, even brought a screwdriver and stabbed the rear bumber (under the plastic) , went thought tho bought it out of impulse lol ..

ehh, lesson learned ..

so it doesnt' sound like it was worth it then? 106,000 km for a 87 would have me a little worried, I'm shure there are ways to mess with that digital odometer

guess I shoulda bought my uncles 89 GTA for 5 g's when I had the chance
