Default Can anyone tell me if this is built right?

http://fortwayne.craigslist.org/cto/2239636347.html

Im thinking of trading my 2001 7.3 + cash from this guy for this car. I like some imports and one with 500+ HP would be sweet, but I am not sure about it. What do you all think?

hello i have a 97 civic that is insainly fast comes with all the paper work 5 page list of mods, dyno charts from tpr in ohio, the car is the fastest import i have ever been around, smokes the tires off at 100mph when you build boost its insane. it was built in 09 by tpr and only have 3k miles on the build the car has never been to the track it was set up to be a sleeper and to run pump gas it pushes over 500 on race gas. i would put all of the mods on here but it would honestly take days the best thing to do if you are interested in the car is to come look at it and i will take you for a ride and after you **** your pants you will buy it. i am interested in a few different things but dont offer me any less for the car i am very firm on the price i have wayy more than that in the motor. shoot me a text or call me at 260-273-1885 thanks. and all trades must be worth 10,000 or i will need cash to make up the difference . ps pictures suck they were taken from my phone

so he's never taken it to the track, but he knows what it does when it gets to over 100 miles per hour? I'd say its pretty safe to say that the car has probably been beat to hell.

sounds like a pretty stout b series build. Do you know much about cars? Or turbo'd cars for that matter? If it were me, and I didn't know much about turbo'd cars and their upkeep, I probably wouldn't buy it.

I don't know what it is about this guy's listing, but I really don't trust him.

ps- also, remember that he says it has 500hp ON RACE GAS. meaning that if it will even run on pump gas,(which it probably wont, I'm not sure though) it will have substantially less power...

i don't think he is going to deal, but I have a 7.3 Ford I was going to trade + I wanted cash from him. He has yet to email me back.

I know a decent amount about car and know more about older cars, but this seem pretty sweet to play with until I get my shop done. I mainly would just like to smoked my friends GTO lol

Thats why I posted it on here because he did seem kind of weird in spots so I dunno
