Hi,
I went as far as I could go without spending any cash.Your perspective car has 6 records out on it, could just be registrations or inspections, or something else.I don't subscribe to NADA, but maybe there are other options. Use your head when shopping on the internet. If it sounds too good, it probably is not. I got lucky on ebay, bought a pretty straight TTA. remember, it's a used car. Even the best muscle cars have a few flaws. Sort of like people, huh? Good luck in your search!

John,
Should that be 1144? That would fit with the numbers I have as 1344 would be close to 247xxx. Just checking
