I found a 4 eyed 5-speed notch for sale.

Fellow is asking 1250 W/o spray and 1450 set-up which is a 100 shot.
That tells me it has most likely been sprayed before.

As long as it's not rusted out or completely beat to shit, a mostly complete running V8/5 speed coupe has got to be worth what he's asking(doesn't matter if it's been sprayed before or not).....

Hmm, I'm deffinately going to take a look at it.
Step 1 would be cleaning/organizing the engine bay and then Step 2 would be throwing on my eletric fan

do a compression test and a leak down test on the engine before you buy it..sort of odd how it comes with n2o and the person says it more then likely has been sprayed.

Make sure to check the cowl, I mean pull the cover and make sure its not rotted out. My 86 has the entire cowl rusted out.
4 eye coupe FTW though!!
