Quick before the arrives:
The headers probably don't have the hookups for the AIR system. You would have to get new headers with the connections, install them (big PITA), and hunt down every piece of emissions crap that the dumb-*** took off and threw away. If the owner lives in an emission state and did that, he deserves to be stuck with the car. Get another 3rd gen. A lot of them are headed to the "crusher" and need to be "adopted".
If you buy that guy's car, offer him enough less so you can afford to move here to Alabama where we don't give a rip .

NO! I just paid $2800 for a 1997 Z28 - $7k is too much for anything! lol
