I know a few people that pulled their 496ho out and put in the 500hp it was cheaper then 525 more bang for the buck. 500 is a good motor

The only way you'll be completely happy is to buy new, with would be well north of 150K for a 27. But for 63k with a blue motor that's a good deal and you can add some of your own upgrades if you want. Instead if spending 14k for that car, use that money and take the boat to Dustin and install a 3.3L whipple and upgrade the drive. Who knows when another 27 will pop up at that price. You could be waiting years for the right boat. Think about that 27 at Eliminator that you sat in?? That boat is about the same year and it's advertised for 90+k? Wow you're talking almost 30k difference in price. I believe RVRKID when he says it's super clean.. There's only so many questions and pics you can ask and look at. If you feel like you want to buy it then drive down to Havasu next week, lake test the boat and make the guy an offer.... I saw an OBO, so that's a good starting point...

But if I lived that far away I would only go look if I had the intention of buying it. That's a very long drive for something that's "growing on you."...
