While that is true, it is a long way from the price he has him down to. With 5000 miles on it, any bugs have probably when worked out. A Roush 402 is near $11-12,000 and a Tremec about $2500 and depending on the area another $2500 for install. 1583 should have most of the upgrades,with the exception of Mod motor clearance and the new rear end.

Assuming the repair is good this is a great deal.

To the best of my knowledge the SB-100 means nothing to any state outside of California. But if you are in California it means a great deal.

DEL, don't get caught up in the heat of the moment. The first question I would have is did he let you drive it? If that hit to the front end was more than just a love-tap it will give itself away with a decent test drive. No offense, but you don't sound too experienced on this "Cobra stuff" thing. I think you should send out an SOS to your local Cobra Club, make friends with a couple guys there, and then seek their assistance in assessing this car -- assuming the car is near you and they can actually lay hands on it. You could probably do that over the Holidays since they're probably on vacation and itchy to get out of the house.
