Nice find. Reputable, definitely agree...

BUT sometimes it is really funny trying to get shops to talk about prior projects...

1. Did you do all the work on this car?

2. What was the condition of the car when you started?

cord4530 is infamous around these parts
I would mirror what others have said.
- No way that has $100k of mods, unless you count depreciation as a mod.
- I'm always cautious of a repainted car. Factory paint is usually much more durable in the long run.
- Are you planning to track the car? If not, you may not like the seats/cage at all.
- I had an aftermarket widebody Porsche ages ago, and I was always waiting for the stress cracks in the paint to show up. I wouldn't do that again, but that's just me.
- A PPI could tell you a lot about the current health of the car. Certainly money well spent if you're serious about it.
