looks okay but it's had body work. Front driver fender's been off the car or replaced. Look at the driver fender vs. the passenger fender in the pic. There's a fender bolt missing and the tab is bent slightly up. Did you run a Carfax before buying it?

we went to pick it up and the guy couldnt even get the thing started.He told me that the paint and body was nice.Well its been wrecked and the body doesnt line up well and the rear fenders have bondo work with crappy results.Ebrake doesnt work but he didnt mention that until we tried to set it on the trailer.I had a really crappy experience with the buyer.We got lost in his town and called for help and guess what no help from the seller.we explained our location and he said well your less than 5 minutes away.We asked the guy to meet us at the gas station and he said he was busy and couldnt help us.
I got your fantasy world pal lol [>:]

you guys have to be kidding[&:] if you go to a mechanic and say "somethings not right, idk what it is..." the mechanic WILL find things wrong and charge him for it. try to fix it yourself, if you can't, get a book and try it again. then if you can't...take it to a reputable mechanic (they aren't easily found
)

In my opinion mechanical issues are nothing in comparrison to electrical. For this reason unless you really know what your doing you shouldnt go experimenting around unless of course you have the equipment and expertise to do it yourself. Trust me when I say you can easily make a $100 dollar issue into a $1000 one. Your safest bet is to always have a trustworthy tech diagnose the issue(s) and then you can make the decision on wether or not to fix it yourself. And if you dont know a reputable one this is America, take it to 10 others, until you get the answer you need.

When the seller says theres NOTHING wrong with the car and it has 12,000 miles after a fresh rebuild id expect for the car to atleast start lol.
we went to pick it up and the guy couldnt even get the thing started.He told me that the paint and body was nice.Well its been wrecked and the body doesnt line up well and the rear fenders have bondo work with crappy results.Ebrake doesnt work but he didnt mention that until we tried to set it on the trailer.I had a really crappy experience with the buyer.We got lost in his town and called for help and guess what no help from the seller.we explained our location and he said well your less than 5 minutes away.We asked the guy to meet us at the gas station and he said he was busy and couldnt help us.

Check your headers they might not be tightened all the way. Dont just look at it and say its fine actually go in there with a wrench and see if it budges.
