Hmmm...Maybe its odometer fraud just to claim a record. 
I don't know why the seller would lie about it, but 330,000 miles is really impressive, much more impressive than some guy who bought an LS1 just to put in his garage as an investment. You only live once, this guy obviously enjoyed the car.

I'd personally stay away from a car with mileage that high. Even if you plan to rebuild the motor, rebuild the trans and upgrade the rear end, you're still going to have a chassis with 330k on it. Interior components and electrics, chassis components and miscellaneous other gremlins are going to rear their ugly head and give you continual headaches, I'm certain.
Why not just save up a few more thousand, and buy a car with much lower mileage?

I must be just breaking mine in at 39,000

i think it would make a nice project car... but to be honest the car books out a little lower. i would bargain him down a little. still pretty cool to see such a high number on the odo. its a nice slap in the face for people who rag on american cars

Damn 330K!... what kind of oil does he use and what were the change intervals, if he uses dino there goes the synthetic is better than dino oil arguement

Even if you don't buy it get some pics of the car and the odometer

look its worth it, Hell its worth 5k. Miles has nothing to do with how anything works. He obviously took car of the car, I bought mine with 82k and 2 months later spun a bearing at 89k. However I beat the crap out of my cars. Most things go bad with age, not miles.

Not that I'm disagreeing with you...hell, brand new cars have those type of gremlins lurking around in them
