Im REALLY liking it.. I REALLY hope its still up come the 15th when I'll have money to buy it S:

 

offer 3500 cash. gona cost 300 bucks to replace the dash pad. ask how old the opti is.

 

Make sure he has some sort of paperwork on the engine "swap" he did. Proof or it didn't happen.

 

I sent him a message asking about any paperwork for the swap. & about the opti awaiting reply!
Also Kbb puts a 93 z28 with 146000 miles at $2,300-$2,800/
and with 81,000 miles - $3,800-$4,400

 

81K on the motor is not the same as 81K on the car when you consider value. Many cars that head to the junk yard do so with a running motor. Its all the other stuff that add up to a car not being worth fixing. In fact I would bet there are as many cars in the yards for transmission issues then motor issues.

Anytime you see a car with a used motor installed you really need to worry about how well the motor swap was done. Most garages will not install a used motor some will but if its done by a clueless do it yourselfer and the wires are routed wrong to TTY bolts where reused and any of a hundred places a person could screw up then the car could turn into a huge headache. We used to have a saying in the shop, normal wear issues are easy to track down but our tuffest repairs are almost always helped by stupid people. If you are not skilled with LT1 you should get a mechanic to check out the car. Even if he is not a expert on LT1's he would be able to tell if the motor installation was done right

Good Luck

 

I think im going to pass he seemed pretty sketchy about the swap. He said he and his dad did it as a project and not being driven much since then seems like somethink is wrong with it

 

yep sounds like a good idea. it is not easy to find some parts for the 93
