Would You Buy it? Why or Why Not?

Okay, this car has been for sale for a long time on this forum (maybe it is no longer for sale, user hasn't logged in for nearly a year now, but in some ways it doesn't matter, as this question is somewhat hypothetical)..

From the description, it reads pretty much like an 'ultimate' first gen street car. All premium parts, tuned by Bill at Delicious, etc, etc..

So why didn't it sell? Was the asking price too high? I know you never get the price of mods back, but this think has a claimed $40K in mods (seems believable to me). The only thing puzzling is that the Clutch was not upgraded along with all the other mods.

Mileage is a little high, but not excessive. Did people see it in person and see something that you can't see in the ad? Or am I missing something else that makes people familiar with this platform steer clear?

It is not my first choice of color, but damn it seems VERY WELL and tastefully built. Would I be a fool to consider purchasing it as a weekend fun car? Is it likely to be a reliability nightmare?

Let me hear the good/bad/ugly opinions from those experienced with this platform..
