The only thing im worried about is the 221k miles on the car. The swap has about 60k on the engine and tranny so im not very worried about that. Im just looking for a good platform to build off of with a decent amount of things done to the car for me to save the money for doing them myself. The cars been in the northeast for its whole life im assuming, and im just wondering if its a good buy or not. I want to know if I should just stay away from it before i start asking for more pictures/information and eventually save myself the 3 hour drive up to Albany. Thanks

If the body isn't rusted to shit and the wiring harness isn't all burnt, Mileage is completely irrelevant.
Just make sure things were done right. Almost all these cars have high miles now, and when you modify them mileage considerations really aren't important anymore. It becomes an issue of condition and quality of work done
