Having owned numerous boosted sports cars over the years I'm looking at trying something different. I've been eye'ing 10's for a few years and after selling my GT500 last year I'm ready to make the switch.
I'm currently in conversation with a gentleman selling a 2004 RC with 34k. It's about 10 hrs away from me one way, so I'd like to make sure I've asked the right questions before proceeding forward.
He purchased the vehicle from a "collector" who dumped some money into it and sold it. He has the receipts for motor work which includes a reground cam, ported and polished heads, a ported intake manifold, and catback. He says it's about $7,500 worth of work. Truck is pretty much stock other than that. He says he doesn't believe the truck has been dynod but he claims it is supposed to be between 700 and 850 horse. I bit my tongue on that one.
So my questions are:
1) Are there any glaring issues that I need to ask about or look into?
2) What should the truck realistically be putting down with the above mods.
3) Based on those mods, and assuming above avg condition, what would be a fair market value (I know this varies depending on location, but a close ballpark would be valuable).
