It was a great deal... unfortunately I live in a condo and have no where to store a back up motor, trailer, and other parts so I had to pass on it. Furthermore, I don't have a truck to tow all of it. I saw many pictures and spoke with the owner many times, he seems to be an honest and upstanding guy. Due to my living situation and my desperate will to start racing, I bought a cheap street legal 4th gen Trans Am and am building it at my own pace. It will cost more money in the long run but is easy on my wallet right now. With that said, If I wouldn't have already purchased my car and was looking for a car to buy I would buy the Blaine car and have it shipped here. Either car you choose looks to be a great choice. Personally, I am partial to the 4th gen and we all know the great work that Alan does.

Future plans are keep auto xing,finish hpde's and finish building on my way to CMC.Thanks for your input. Mitch if you see this I wish I could take you up on your offer about sending it too you to make it CMC legal.But Texas is pretty far too.
