Default Chevy/Fbody newb HELP!

Hello everyone.
So as you maybe able to gander from my username. I'm a former(and currently), Mustang owner. I have late model V6 Mustang that I plan to keep as a DD, and I'm really looking to add an F-Body as a, street/occasionally track car. I found a modded LT1 Z28 in my area that seems like a moderate deal. I'll provide a link to the cars craigslist ad and was wondering/hoping maybe some of you vets on the board could give me a good idea how this car looks as far as price, and in terms of performance. My original plan was to find a lower mile, stock/stockish LS1 and possibly do A H/C/I set up with that. With all my rambling being said, here's the car I'm interested in.

IMO, stick with your original plan, especially if you want to talk about it in a gen III forum.

​​​​You might spend a little bit more but the difference in potential is huge. Even cam-only the LS1 is hard to beat.

I agree with the above you could get an ls1 fbody for a few thousand more probably with some mods already done and in even better condition. I'd wait till its officially spring when there will be a dump of people who held on to cars for winter to sell them then. OR...

Check out the vehicle classifieds on here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/marketplace/cars/search/

This ones not too far away but idk if its still for sale or not but has some tasteful mods for a not so terrible price: https://ls1tech.com/forums/vehicle-c...6-12-bolt.html
