Default 95 lt1/z28 worth it?? HELP SOON!!

hi guys i have a 1995 z/28 that ive been lookin at. Its got 166k miles, k&N intake, magnaflow exhaust, SS fiberglass hood, 3.55 gears, 3" cutout, new heads, waterpump and optispark, guys asking $3950. Is this a fair price, should i be worring excessively about anything in particular breaking at this point? want to go pick the car up today, any helpful advice anyone car guru's can give?? thanks!!!

Thats sounds too good to be true. I'd be kinda worried about the new heads deal. Why did it need new heads?

Kinda sounds like a waterpump failure to me. Waterpump leaked, ruined the opti, car overheated and warped the aluminum heads. If thats the case then it might not be a big deal. Sounds like he replaced everyhting that commonly goes wrong with these things. Drive it and if it runs good then get it. Thats a dirt cheap price for an LT1
