buy a kit for 50-100 bucks off of ebay, do it yourself with a 1/2 drill bit, drill and some basic hand tools. Not neccessary to weld them on a stock horsepower car.
What shop, in the Bay Area, did he work for? What's his name? I know most of the shop guys in the area.
I agree with the comments above...it sounds like you aren't getting a complete run down on the car and should be cautious. Be sure to get receipts...otherwise, I'd assume nothing has been done to it. It would also be worth taking this car to another shop for inspection.
Less snipy attitude and you'll get better responses

***WHEEL DEAL***
WOW! now thats a find! i wonder what else it needs besides rings tho. either something else is wrong with it, or its fake. if it was closer it could be worth checking out, but 6 hours each way is too much. also its a bit more than i wanted and probably does need more than just rings. why would he invest all that, then run it rich to the point that it jacked something up, and then dump it on craigslist. something isnt right at all with that.
i was a little surprised by how clean this looks for a stockton car. even then, theres not enough info or detailed pics to guess what kind of condition it really is. stockton is 98% junk/abused cars. its also not worth the risk of going there to deal with it.
i appreciate the effort you put forth to put down the original car i posted, but i've been searching CL multiple times daily for the last 1-2 months.

Ive been looking at that notch for a while. Notches just arent my thing, figure even if it needed a full rebuild it would still be worth it. I would toss a moderate 347 stroker kit in it and call it a day. Make 500rwhp and wish i went with an aftermarket blockNice find on that blue notch in Eureka, Guy! I might have to go take a drive, now.
VanD, I've never heard of that shop. The internet is a great tool...by looking up the shop and reading the reviews, I can say that I'm not impressed with it, nor would I go as far as classifying it as an expensive performance shop...it sounds like a regular repair shop. I do know a Vince that works for a high performance shop in the Bay, but that's not his car.
As for shops to take the car to, I don't know of any in the 925. I've only ever used performance shops for their dyno facilities. The shop I'd recommend you go to is Advanced Engine Development (AED). They have a shop in San Jose, and one in Cameron Park. Another shop I've heard good things about is Nextgen Auto Sport in Hayward.

CL is your friend OP but you're gonna need to go further than 5 minutes away to find your car.
VanD, I know you're new here, so FYI, Shaolin Crane is a little hard to get along with until you get on his good side, haha.
Isn't that right, Guy?
Also, don't be afraid of a t-top car because you assume it will be flimsy. Be afraid of it because you'll never get the tops to seal out water quite right. Throw sub frame connectors at it, and flex will not be an issue. I have a set of MM SFCs on my t-top car, and I can put it on jack stands at 3 corners, and the forth won't sag even a half an inch. Solid, baby. Of course, I have a puddle on each front seat after I wash the car...
But go for that car you first posted, should be a winner

Meh, they aren't my thing either, but the Bay Area guys LOVE them.
