[evil mechanic]

Tell me what you guys think of it and if it looks legit. I am told it is a limited, but the RPO code stuff is confusing.

The mod list (looks like it has more that he didnt list based on the pictures)

Complete rebuilt motor with TRW replacement forged pistons, stage I cam, Fererra valves, T&D shaft rockers, Champion valve covers, new fly-wheel.
Mods include: gt6157e precision turbo, Terry Houston 3" S.S down-pipe, Flow-Master dual exhaust system (SOUNDS AWSOME), turbo tweak chip, motron 60 injectors, adjustable waste gate & fuel regulator, Walbro fuel pump, 3" chrome inlet pipe with cold air kit/K&N, H.D cooler hoses, H.D aluminum radiator, smc alcohal injection kit.
Every sensor replaced with new GM after motor was installed. New Delco battery/cables.
Precision 9/11 L/U converter, shift-kit, Art Carr deep trans pan,
Factory 8.5" posi with 3.42 gears,
New front end suspension (Billstein shocks/springs tierods etc).
Factory T-Tops, Digital dash (new upgraded 195 mph unit from Caspers Electronics)
Car currently has 87 GN front/rear seats,
New carpet & floor mats, column shift, but has a GN console to go with car. Power antenna still works perfect
Rear GNX seat braces, front end upper & lower braces (CAR IS TIGHT)
Needs a heater core(currently by-passed)
Runs excellent, very reliable and fast, 11 second car you can Drive anywhere, and can easily be made a lot faster. bigger rear wheel cyls, rebuilt the powermaster brake unit, brand new rjc racing plenum with power plate kit with a accufab 70mm throttle body, hotwire kit for fuel pump.

I would be trading for a bike i built.

The car has rust issues. The car is owned by a board member and seems to be a pretty straight forward guy.

I dont have a link but I did receive a few pics via email. I deleted them but if you can find the previous owners post, I'm sure he'll send you pictures of the rust issues. I believe it has rust in the rockers and hinges. I'd try to get ahold of the owner and look the car over well. I jst remember it had more rust than i wanted to deal with.

He sent me pics of the rockers. He said it was a few small bubbles, but they looked like small holes to me. He didn't mention the hinges though. I also found his FS thread and he mentions the rocker rust and also mentions bottom of the doors. Are you pretty sure there was hinge rust?

No not positive at all about the hinges. I may have been thinking of the bottoms of the doors. I think the seller is a pretty honest guy from what i gathered.

I'd imagine the frame rails are rusty then.
