Extra Parts- Full race suspension, sub frame connectors, extra wheels & tires, adjustable track bar, extra rear end, brand new set of richmond gears, extra fenders, drive shaft, lots of miscellaneous interior parts & more.

Any help will be greatly appreceiated.

If this is not the place for this thread please move. I just was'nt sure where to post.

 

Where are you buying this car? Where will it be registered? Do you live in cali? If you do, that car will never be street legal. have you seen the car? Look for rust, look for cracks on the roof near the corners of the windows. Look for rust under the car. Get the documentation for the work done. If he did it himself, he may have taken pictures. get those. And there is some more, but my brain can't think of them at the moment.

 

If it's the stock 5 speed, it most likely wont last long behind that 350. 5 speed cars were all 305's. Is the emissions control equipment removed? If so, depending on where you live, that will be a problem. Like Ozz said, forget it in CA.
