I drove 4 hours there to look at a white 88 gt. needless to say he wasted my time. said engine was rebuilt and strong but had a pretty bad stumble. he also said the paint was 9.5 out of 10. at best it would get a 5 or 6. it was bubbling up in many places and had a ton of chips. also the sway bar links had a ton of play. I asked all kinds of questions trying to get a feel for the car before I got out there, since it was such a far drive. I've been looking for a nice example for a long time. He misrepresented it pretty badly. It also didn't help that he thought it was worth way more than it really was. the worst part was the cosmetics. don't get me wrong i've seen many worse examples, but it was nowhere near the condition i was expecting
If its not a far drive, then it might be worth taking a look if you need parts cars or some projects. but dont rely on his description, take a look in person. I left without making an offer and found a red 88 gt about a week later that is easily 2 or 3 times nicer for less than he was asking.
