Default Thinking about getting a weekend 383 LT1

Hey everyone, I've been out of the fbody world for a while. I've been looking to get another fbody again, but I don't want a high mileage LS1 and I don't want a low mileage LS1 for close to 20,000$. So, I found this car

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1995-...t_18092wt_1165

Any thoughts or comments about it? I'm just going to use it as a weekend/male genetalia measurement device lol. I know a little about the 306 cam and it gets dogged on a lot, but would it serve my purpose? I know the price is a little high, but I'm going to negotiate it with the seller. Thanks for any advice

I also forgot to mention that I emailed the seller asking how many miles since the build and all that stuff. Would it be a smarter move to buy a similar priced LS1?

Looks like a nice build on the ebay car. Has new paint updated front end. Its had to say to how nice something is only going by pictures. If I had a choice between the ebay car and ramairs95 Id go Ramairs. For his asking price I think its more then fair. Gotta admit I know its the wrong way of doing it and lots of ppl have had no problems running them that way, I dig the way the exhaust looks under the axel on the ebay car. Makes me want to run true duals

If you want the car, it's turn-key ready to go.

PM me for details if you're interested. And thanks to the guys above for the recommendation.

Its kind of a no brainer here, get a car for more money that will probably end up with a 2 peice crank,and you know nothing about it or its owner, or get one thats cheaper, and has proof of what it can do, along with countless posts on a site to refrence by the owner to see what life the car has had.

I've had the car for 11 years, it's far faster than it should be, and it has delivered everything (and more) than I had ever wanted. Unfortunately though, every time I look at it I lack the motivation to further anything else with it, so I want to pass the torch on to someone who wants a turn-key street monster. That's the short version.

10s, 9s, whatever, the number doesn't interest me much anymore. Those days are gone, unfortunately. It was a 10-year project - it's time for another!
