Love it! A relatively untouched decent mileage '97 with no prior collisions is a rare beast. I wish I was in a better position as I'd love to add this to the stable. Considering what the FBP one just sold for this should see high $20K at least.

If it didn't have the surface rust it'd go sky high.

I would not rip it having been on track at Expo at all.

Hoping the seller will post some undercarriage pics for all to see. Definitely some surface rust on some odds and ends as well as oxidation on some of the aluminum parts. That can be reconditioned no problem so I wouldn't put too much weight to that. However, if the undercarriage shows signs of a NE winter then the value should reflect that. The fact that it has been driven on a closed course just means that it has been used as it should be. Heavy rust, collision damage and a branded title are the real deal killers so as long as that part checks out this should be a solid buy.

I wonder how much the undercarriage surface rust will affect value. Prob won't affect too much. But I'd prefer a more rust free caR. Interesting to see how people react to a 97.
