Thanks for the input you guys.
I went to see the
98 on ebay last week. He's a totally cool guy and the car is pretty nice, but the salvage title had me on the lookout for anything weird. I noticed that it has adjustable camber plates and the passenger side is maxed out, but the driver side is set in the middle. So I had it checked out at an alignment shop and the passenger side has 1 degree of negative camber and the caster is out of spec by a degree. The driver side has almost no camber, although there was room to add a little on the adjusters, and camber was in spec.
In the long run, a salvage title is going to be value challenged, and even more so since the frame is definitely a little bit bent.
I did find a car tonight (it was the white 96 also on ebay.) I'll post more when I take some pictures tomorrow in the daylight.
cheers,
