i picked it up off of a fella on here. its a red 1994 vert. it has 96,xxx miles on it currently i bought it with 94,xxx. brought it down to florida about a week after i bought it. no problems the car is really solid. had the car on a lift also there is no rust underneath it.

look out for the vert chassis brace over the trans tunnel where the seam is.
only the verts have this.

even with the sikky kit, you may have contact there.

back when i swapped my vert (gto manifolds and oil pan) on homemade mounts, i had the goat pan 1/2" below the bottom of crossmember and the trans was still hitting the tunnel where the brace was.

if you run into the same problem, you may have to use a hole saw to cut out two small circles from the brace.

if not, then sikky got that thing mounted super low

Hell yea man I try to make everyone laugh. The car is "forsale". But I'm probably going to pull the motor soon and rebuild it. I'm gonna get all the recent pics of it up after work
