Surfing Craigslist.....
 
Surfing Craigslist I found this http://richmond.craigslist.org/cto/910748688.html seems like a good deal, local as well.

I don't think i'd want to buy someone's already "built" and turbo'd car. The only way you could know for sure that it was built would be for you to pull the head or drop the oil pan. You don't know what miles are on it, how it was abused, if the tune is good. But if you're buying it for fun on the side or as a project, go for it. I'd just be hesitant for getting it as a d/d

Yeah no ---- lol. People can say anything about what's inside their motor, but there's really only 1 way to verify it's true. From the few small pictures I saw; it looks like a massive homemade set-up that's rigged all over the place. The guy misspelled a lot of things and didn't even know what most of the stuff was called. Not to mention he's talking about it breaking loose on the rollers at a mere 300whp (claimed)?! Unless he's running spare tires on the front; that's a lie. Probably some idiotic :8 that thinks it's the hottest ---- around. I wouldn't touch that car with a 10' pole.

I don't know, $2500 doesn't sound terribly bad...if the car is in decent shape. I'd wanna see more pics, and the car in person. Maybe have a compression test done. A local kid has one of those cars that he and his grandpa restored. It's an extremely clean, nice car, but it isn't boosted or anything.

the car wont stay on the dyno drums long enough to tune
I think he just means he can't afford to keep it on the dyno for more than a pass or two.

What do you mean not bad? I wouldn't pay 500 bucks for that heap. Save your cash cause there's alot more better ---- out there. Patiences my friend.
