Default Should I get this car?

Hi everyone, hoping you could give me some advice on a used LT1 I'm looking at. I looks like a good deal to me given the condition of the vehicle and price but a few more opinions can't hurt.

Car is a 94 TA. 122,xxx miles. Owner says it is in excellent mechanical shape and he recently replaced opti, water pump, fuel pump, injectors, and plugs/wires.

Price is $4100.

It has a few mods. I don't remember them all right now but I know he has exhaust, CAI, hypertech stat, and I think a few more.

Oh, and clean carfax, no accidents/problems/etc.

My friend just bought a 1995 Trans Am white with black and red accent interior, auto 100,000 miles, 16inch eagle alloy rims, lowered 1 1/2 inch, flowmaster catback, slp cold air induction, recent tune up, excellent body no sign of any paint or body work and runs very well for $4,500. It has all the power options, t tops, no traction controll but it has the trans perform option. Check the blue book value on yours and do the math

Well he says that he has receipts for it all, since he had it all done at shops.
