What to look for on a 4th gen
Hello, I am going to look at a 4th gen tomorrow. It has a LT1350 with a 6 speed in it. Is there anything that I should be on the look at that are problematic on these cars? The guy is askin 3k, so thinking either a steal or something wrong with it.

Make sure the clutch engages and disengages smoothly, and if possible, disconnect the slave cylinder and shine a flashlight up onto the fork to inspect for any cracks on it. The forks are know to crack and eventually break since they're cast. A replacement, if you can find it, will set you back a pretty penny.

Went and looked at it in the day light. I'm not sure about it. Both bumper covers need replaced and the clear is cracking. I haven't talked to the owner yet cause not sure if it's somethin that would work for what I'm looking for. If you guys were wanting to build a lower budget 1/4 mile car, would you waste your time and money with somethin like this? Thanks

if you want to build a low cost 1/4th mile car ,look for one that may need an engine but evrything else is good 1000.00 probley ,there are many .rust free z28 out there ,then find a used lt1 an build it to 400hp ,graigs list 3000.00 thats to much unless its got low miles an runs good ,most cars that have a beat up .body,have even worse machanical issues ,so if you want find one needs a rebuilt engine with a good tranny ,,check for rust to under the car ,1500.00 or less ,probley cost another 2500.00 to build the engine where i live there is ton of them,you got to thin k whats a low cost 1 4/th mile car ,as that alone can cost,find the one that needs minumal work done i had seen one ,all it need was tranny rebuild wanted it gone 800.00 it had 98.000,that you will need to do alot of searching ,but you can get there ,where . live makes a .diffrence ,as far as cost ,grais .list put your price an an see what they have ,i had seen a .ss with 87.000 miles looked sweet was $5000.00 if it needed nothing ,thats a great car for 4/th mile
