Default Advice As To Buy 95 Z

Local Z For Sale 2800. Has 144k Miles But Supposedly A New Engine With 7ok Miles On It. Pretty Stock Auto For 2800. I Already Have A Heads And Cam C5, And Am Looking For Something I Can Just Beat Around And Mod For Cheap.

Is This A Good Deal For This? And If So What Are Some Prices On Either Blower, Turbo, Crate Engines?


Thanks For Your Help

might want to get some receipts for the engine.. if it's an auto the tranny is going to die pretty soon...

Modding these things is dirt cheap. 400 RWHP for around 2500 (engine mods only) if you do the work..

Good price, if it is in decent condition. Most that I have seen in that range are a POS.

If it's in decent shape at all I think that's a pretty good deal. At that price even if you needed to rebuild your engine and get a new tranny you wouldn't be doing all that bad.
