Have you seen this car in person? Do they have maintenance records? Before buying look for over spray, missing screws/bolts and any leaks.
With those miles a compression test is a must do. The price is pretty low, but the miles are high for a car that we all know that someone probably got on it ( they all do)
What are your plans for this car?

I checked everything out and saw the car. Drove it, looked over to make sure it was all good. Plans for the car is to rebuild the car and make it a track car. The car fax checks out pretty much.
