What shape is the car in? any rust? The 5.7 TPI motors are capable of mid 14s stock. but check the VIN to make sure it's a 5.7, as a lot of times, people lie, the 8th digit should be an 8.

On the home page, under tech data on the left you can find out more info on it.

it sounds like a keeper, only if its in good condition. Depending on how it was treated the mileage is okay. if it was abused then 120k will kill ya. other then that i've seen these cars with over 200k and still tickin, only if its treated properly.
