Thanks for your take. Now that we got it up on a lift this morning and saw it has some issues, I'll share some photos and more information. Right off the bat I'm trying to figure out if it actually IS a numbers matching car.
I know there is a page on the FGF site to enter VIN #s but I can't seem to get it to work. VIN on this was: 223379L116690 and the Engine ID was 0504852 XB. If anyone can tell right off the bat if these numbers match, I'm all ears.
Sadly I think there are more issues than the seller admitted - mechanic said the rear axle needs to be replaced ASAP and even I could see that the floor pans had been cut out and replaced (though he claimed NO rust or anything ever). Plus the trans was leaking something fierce, and the pans too. Fluid all over the rear brakes, rear coil springs needed, cracked belts, cracked tires (from 2002, not 2 years old as claimed). Worst is the trans is a rebuilt 400 not the OG 350 as claimed.
Photo below...the car LOOKS really nice and I liked how it drove, but I'm worried about these issues. With all of that the asking price of $13500 is never gonna happen.....Trying to figure out if it's even worth offering a much lower amount and taking on those repairs (axle, transmission rebuild) myself.
