thats actually not too too bad of a buy, 110,000 miles, 12 bolt with 430's, i mean you could spend a day and get all that horse **** off of there. would be a decent car to strip and and re-do. but probably not for 6 grand.

But you would have to dive it home and risk being seen driving it.

There was a Firebird that went through that was the same thing! I think they had a T/A decklid and removed the spoiler somehow, then bondoed over any holes because the deck was smooth like it was meant to be that way heh. Then there was that UGLY spoiler on the back, the interior was riced to match :\

That SS isn't bad till you reach the back end with that spoiler and tail lights -_-

Honestly, I kinda wanna offer to trade him my car for it and take my nitrous off. I've always wanted a '97SS 6spd in that color.... it does look to be saveable anyways, and its not too terribly far from me.
