Question I May buy an LT1 car this week! Need advise/help!!

I may buy a 1995 Z28 T56. It has 97K on the clock, T Tops, Headers, original pipes (the guy had cat back but broke so he put the stock back on) and a Moroso SS hood. Also, some 4th gen camaro knock offs. The starter was replaced not too long ago because the heat from the headers fried it. It also has a few dings and dents.

What can I expect from this car?

Can I ask how much he wants for it? It should be around $5500.

How much are they asking? Looks very clean... Are you planning on doing more mods to it? Or just a nice weekend driver?

Its in the ball park. The picture makes the paint look much better then it is. Its not terrible or anything though. Interior has its usual wear too. Grey is a little brown, things like that.

Pretty much just a weekend driver. I am looking something to toy around in while my car is being restored. I may do a cat back if I'm feeling saucy!

My first piece of advice would be to be sure to give it "everything" when you test drive it... take it right up to redline in first and second. You don't want to buy it, take it home, and then find out the Opti is crap when you go to flog it a little bit.
