Go buy it now...it's a steal, even at the asking price. I'd do a VIN check to make sure that it isn't a flood damaged car though.

For that price, you can resell it for a profit if you wanted to. Go buy the damned thing. Heck, if I lived nearby, I'd buy it. You'll be kicking yourself if you don't.

Sounds like a good deal - I just sold my 98 with 50K miles, mint condition, maybe $1500 in bolt-ons for $13,000. Just make sure you do a CarFax first!

head/cooling mod??? Care to elaborate? The thought of my 97 baby taking a hi-temp dump sends chills down my spine.

I believe white cars reflect the suns rays better than a darker colored car that would absorb heat etc. My Cobra always feels cooler than my other cars when out in the sun.
