I would be cautious.

The engine has been rebuilt. Find out why.
I've never heard of that company that has done the tune.
I don't believe that GM makes a "Stage 3 Performance Clutch".
I'm seeing at least two mods in that engine bay picture that's not on the list, maybe three.
It doesn't have the LSD transmission, which most people feel is required, especially if you're going to the trouble of buying an already modded car, it better be the top of the line.

don't buy it. this thing has no transmission work done, but tons of power added. the transmission is a ticking time bomb on this car. find one that is stock. I will never in my life buy a car that has been modified, because they usually don't do it right.

Thanks guys. it has 65k miles on it and he said it was not blown up, that the stock pistons were know for cracking after 80k. Its only been to the track twice. Never used meth. But I was worryed about the trans too just because I heard they were weak.

Hmmm, track or no track you don't add power and not use it. I'm selling my 07 SC with just over 44k on it right now for $10.5 and I will say its been tracked a few times, runs top notch still and great daily. I barely tick passed 3k rpm's unless merging or having to pull out and get moving to not cut others off.

A bit over priced for a SS/SC, there's a lot of mods on it but that does not add to the resale value to the car.
I would not pay that much for a modded car, maybe if it was stock and looked really good with a lot less miles.
