    price really depends on how good the body is, any rust on the rockers or rear strut towers. not sure where bay is? but these cars rust out in the areas with snow.

    KBB for a 98 is about 2000 in good cond. so try kbb see whats its worth in your area and go from there. as you know you never get your mod money back. not all of it thats for sure.

    my other rule of thumb is also to never buy a modded car. best to buy a un molested one and start fresh.

    his mod list dont say anything about the tranny either. stall and shift kit is only helping the beating its taking if its still stock. they do blow up. after that 350 hp mark you really need to install a load of hard parts. in short a good built tranny can add up fast.

    350 Wheel at best if his block is a GT block, his "custom heads" are full blown hand ported and milled for compression, and he's running at least a shor stack full intercooler.

    Even an XP cam can get close to XPZ numbers with the right heads

    Verdict. He's a little over 300 imho

    VS cam build 13.01@107 316whp/ XP build #1 12.78@110 334whp/ XP build #2 12.56@113 347whp
    IS3 Cam build (Ready to put out some serious numbers)
