Made an offer
Made an offer But still have some things that I'm unsure about.
The car is a looker '00 SS with 46k on the clock, white with hardtop, M6, Monsoon, black/tan interior, straight panels, clean body. Has two exterior blemishes 4-5 spider cracks in the front bumper by the passenger headlight, a small spot of worn paint on the drivers door about a 1/4 inch in size. Also the drivers seat has some wear and the passenger seat has a very small tear on the bottom (*** section).
Mods:
KOOKS LONGTUBE HEADERS
MAGNAFLOW CAT-BACK
G2 SUBFRAME CONNECTORS (WELDED NOT BOLT-ON)
G2 PANHARD BAR
G2 CONTROL ARMS (PRESENTLY OFF THE CAR BECAUSE THE STOCK ONES RIDE SMOOTHER)
G2 DRIVE SHAFT SAFETY LOOP
DIRECT FLO AIR BOX
BMR STRUT TOWER BRACE
PRO 5.0 SHIFTER
Z06 CLUTCH W/SLAVE
160 THERMO
SHORT THROW W/CAAGS
AUBURN DIFF (3.42'S)
DIFF COVER
MSD WIRES
NGK PLUGS
T/B BYPASS MOD
A FEW NEW GEARS AND SYNCHROS (WARRANTIED BY DEALER)
KYB SHOCKS UP FORNT (NOT OUT BACK)
POLY SWAY BAR BUSHINGS UP FRONT
HARDENED PUSH RODS (DON'T REMEMBER BRAND, STOCK SIZE)
I'm sure I forgot something since I'm trying to remember everything from my mind.
The things that are concerning to me is the pushrods, they were replaced due to a mis-shift from 3rd to 2nd (should have been 4th). Also the G2 driveshaft loop was removed due to it banging and making noise on hard downshifts and hard launches. Has had some transmission work warrantied by dealership (gears/synchros).
To end on a positive note, the guy keeps every record/receipt and mileage check imaginable. Absolutely fanatical, I thought I was bad but I got a spread sheet of everything done from day one when he drove the car off the lot. The car was dyno'd three times. Stock it made 306.5hp / 311.2tq , w/the airlid & throttle body bypass it made 325.6hp / 325.1 tq , w/the headers it made 338.49 hp / 341.97 tq.
Any feedback on my concerns about the pushrods or anything else that would help in my final decision making process.
Thanks in advance

Usually thats where people go when their wanting to buy something. I've looked in the forsale section and actually found some real nice cars on the other side of the US but this is a local car/seller and since this post was to inquire about some info on the bent pushrods and potential issues associated with it, I listed the other mods and features to see if anyone thought the car was junk or the pricing sucked.
