Default Worth it or not??

I just came across a 1 owner Blk. on tan 97' SC300 today with 149,500 miles.
The interior is in amazingly good shape considering it's age and mileage. The lows are that the a/c doesn't work and there is a hole in the driver side muffler. I really don't care because my intentions are to make it into a 1/4 mile queen Price is $5,500.00 firm and there aren't even any cracks in the leather or upper door panels, in fact, the passenger seat and rear seat look new. So, what do you guys think? Is $5,500.00 too much?
Thanks in advance Guys!!!!

It's an automatic. Also don't care about that, I'd end up sticking a John Kilgore TH400 in it anyway I'd be looking to go down the same road that Hal went down with his SC.

that cheap price.
But if you will turn it into a drag queen, why buy one with good interior? Part them out?
