sounds like a sick set up. is the rear-end stock? how bout the trans? both should be fine but will be on borrowed time if u plan on driving the car hard at the track/street. if u do buy it, i would suggest getting it retuned just to be safe.

does it have all the receipts? make sure all the work on the car was done right. other than that check for normal things like carfax, leaks, odd smells etc. a compression check might be a good idea too.

Carfax is clean, Compression is on my list of things to check, I asked about the trans havent heard from him yet, If I can pick it up for a decent price I wouldnt mind putting some $$ into it to make it work the way I want it to. He says it dynoed at 670rwhp and 580rwtq on 20psi.

He has most of the receipts on the work done to the car.

My suggestion, really look at the car for butchered/short cuts and/or hack work.

Good luck...
