My vote still stands for buying locally. With patience you'll find something as good if not better than that locally. I know it seems like that's the car for you, but there are some things that throw up a red flag. Personally, it would be hard for me to trust a car I just bought (especially unknowing of who did the work, or how it was done) and trekking it half way across the country.

Just because it was supposedly built by some Pro-Am racer doesn't mean anything once it's out of his hands. Any bonehead can start throwing parts in to it, messing around with the tune etc...Overall, this could be a real money pit, and not the fun go-fast parts kind of money pit; more like the I gotta keep this thing running and somewhat reliable money pit.

None of us are trying to rain on your parade, we're just looking out for you.
