First of all, you are doing the right thing...

if I had known what I know now.. I would have bought a used one....

I would never by a kit car that was built by a individual with " parts " borrowed from used cars...they might be fine, but I wouldn't know if they are safe or dependabel....

I would by a quality factory built car with a MSO, with a clear and clean title and have it inspected to insure that the important bits (engine, transmission, chassis, electrical ect ) are perfect... in excellent shape....

The most important thing is to be honest about how you intend to use the car....

If you are interested in a small block Superformance that is in perfect shape and adult owned and driven...you might take a look at mine (SPF 2811) listed in here and at Full Throttle... Stephen and Luci did the install in Reno and know all about the car...

In any case, don't buy a problem...if it is cheap it is probably a problem.

Good luck...bart
