Default guys.. would you buy this?

I found this on z28.com. it's a 95 he's only asking $2000 bucks for it and he's local. it's got 130k on it with an a4 tranny, LS1 front clip and dash, ss hood and spoiler and fresh paint.he says the rear is making a "clicking" sound and i'm guessing that means it's about to take a ****. it's never been wrecked. and he says it runs strong.
here are the pics

I would see where he painted it, and take it for a test drive since its local. That seems like a very low price for that car. Something just doesn't seem right, on the other hand you could have run across the deal of the year.

hell yes, 2k would be great, that is cheap as hell and if the engine craps out you can pick up another one, or even an ls1 and stick it in there.

well I looked at this car also... that damage doesnt look that bad in pics. but its in a difficult spot on an fbody... If you dont mind driving around with that until you can spend some money repairing it.... jump on it.
I backed out bc of the amount of work it needs...
other than that, it looks sweet!
I have a set 18' gunmetal zr1's if you get it..
just pm me..
