The 3rd one looks like it may have been in an accident. Look at how drastically different the headlights look...says to me, one of these has been replaced. 98's are the least desireable of LS1 Fbodies.
#1 is a wrecked car. Has a rebuilt/salvaged title. Stay away. Not even a good price for the mileage. Damn ugly too.
#2 is far and away the best of the cars you've linked to us. It looks nice and clean, is priced fairly(you could get it for 10K or less) for the mileage and options and is a black on black 6spd...

but dont let that stop you, because there are good low priced cars out there...

Carfax will not always lead you to the thruth about a vehicles past.... side shops can fix accident damage and not report it....
I would keep looking, there has to be cleaner cars out there.... dont just jump into buying anything.... the key is to drive drive drive... make sure clutches are in good workin order... watch the rpms@mph's for diffrent rear ends.... check for leaks.... look at tire life...
and the only way you'll be able to tell, is to go find a car with low miles... and drive it... see what i feels like... and then compair it to others...
