I guess it depends on what you want to do with it. A nice paint job is not cheap. I'd assume that one is ****.

give him a grand and part it out, LS1x2 is 100% correct, a paint job on par with factory will cost you a good 5k

I would give him $1k cash right now for it. That car is going to need a decent amount of money thrown into it in order to bring it back to it's original glory.

I'd drop a cheap 5.3 short block in there and give it hell for 6 months. Then sell it and make my money back. That car is too ugly to keep for a long time.

BPM = Bright Purple Metallic

It was a very rare color only available for a very short window in '98

Sonic beat me to it lol. i think ive only seen BPM fbodys maybe a dozen or two times in my life, and theyve been on the roads for 12 years now. it was just an incredibly rare color, but add to that that this one is a v8 and its even better.

That car has been for sell for a while now.. he has some stories to tell about that thing. First he had the car for a long time. Next he bought it from a paraplegic and thinks the car should still start up fine haha
