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
