Take into effect, yes it is a STREETABLE car but not STREET LEGAL. I dont know if you are in the military and could regsiter it out of state or if you just want a track car or if you have a good hook up at a smog spot. But take that into your decision.

My first thought was that is too much car for you! lol j/k

What stands out to me is the fuel system. The aeromotive a1000 pumps don't do well on the street unless you have the fuel controller which is a crap ton of money $369.99 or something. Those pumps are meant to be gravity fed and it will like a 1/2 tank of gas always. I went through 2 of these pumps in a year when I ran that fuel system on my daily driven blwn 331. To get it rebuilt from aeromotive costs almost as much as a new one ($200 or so).

Other than that the Car looks very clean. If it's in as good of shape as it looks from the pics I think you have a solid ride there.

I was just giving you a heads up and my experience with that style fuel pump on the street. It may last for ever and it may not. It was my experience that it didn't. This is recommended for street applications. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AEI-16306/

Don't look too far into it. It looks like an awesome car.

Again I'm not saying steer clear of the car just because I pointed out a potential problem. All I'm saying is the pumps don't do well on the street. It's a racing pump and without the controller it's running balls to the wall all the time.

Listen to what orange395w is saying.

Even with the controller, which I've seen SEVERAL go out, it's still gonna heat up the fuel.

In my opinion, I'd buy the car and swap out the pump for one of the new MagnaFuel inline pumps that doesn't require a controller for the street and sell the one you took off. I wouldn't invest in a controller for the current pump. It would cost almost as much as a MagnaFuel replacement pump.
