The guy who sold it to me didn't know what he had and didn't want to go through the hassle of what the car needs.
I live in alberta and the car was last registered in a different province. from what I can tell, it only needs a windshield to be ready for the inspection. There is also some damage onthe drivers quarter panel that someone has tried to repair at one point but they did a horrible job. When I first drove it it would only give about 4 psi boost and miss alot, so I changed the plugs and wires and drove it again, no miss and 12 psi. Then it felt like it was leaning out at about 4000rpm, so I changed the fuel filter, that fixed that. Now I can't find any other problems with it.

Make sure you keep tab on your coolant levels and temps. And don't run the nuts off of it if it gets a little warm. You don't wanna pop those head gaskets. I'm suprised mine aren't blown. I run the hell outta my SC but she just loves it!

I also had to get keys made for it, and replace the trunk lid (someone punched out the lock). there's some paint gone off the front bumper.
On the plus side, its rust free and now it runs like a champ. Finding parts isn't too bad, I work in an auto wrecker and I am also an automotive service tech.

Not too shabby for $800 I wish I could've snagged mine for that. Mine had a boatload of things wrong with it but the guy knew what he had. I may have overpaid a bit, but it's exactly what I was looking for.
But as many have said, Good Luck, you're going to need it. Luck and a deep wallet
Congrats!
