verts are good in the summer but not on the track so if ur intrested in 1/4miles i could look somewhere else for safetly plus if u go fast enough u will need a full cage and then it will look weird with a full cage and the top down...and i agree ditch the wing

ditch the wing, lower the rear end a bit, +1 to the roll cage, you go over 12.99 or something and you need a cage.(not to sure on the times)

people have been known to not adjust their hood properly and it unlatches itself and slaps your windshield. next thing you know youhave to fix your roof line, broken mouldings, windshield, hood, hinges, latch. so 20 dollar in hood pins can save you 500 dollars in damage

Something struck me really bad with that car from reading the ad, and I'm not sure what. I have a feeling he didn't put something in properly and ****ed it up really bad and that's why he's selling it. That's just my vibe from it, but I've never talked to him or met him so that can really only go so far.

How much are you looking to buy a project for? I could find you a decent car depending on what you want. I don't know many people with convertibles though, if that's what you're after.. but I do know someone locally who has a silver convertible notch 5.0 for sale in Shiloh, IL.

^+1 i love that sig pic. the rear could be sitting high because of after market springs? idk maybe he got those ride height adjuster brackets that can raise or lower ride height as much as 2 inchs

Ditch the wing, then do paint and you've got yourself a sweet ride.
