96 GTS Questions...need input

Went to look at the 96 B&W GTS, and have some questions. The car has 2700 miles, dealer owned which means that it was NEVER registered...the MSO is still with the car as it is owned by a Dodge dealer...and I would be the first owner if I pull the trigger. Car has HRE wheels, and a custom interior.

1) For just the 96 GTS, did the stripes go all the way through the license plate area?

2) Did Chrysler have their little emblem on the side below the GTS emblem?

3) Are the emblems blue, just as the color of the car?

4) Does the engine have a hotter cam?

5) There is no damage, but the hood looks like it could be adjusted slightly...is this a big deal?

6) Where there any recalls or service bulletins for this year?

7) The front fascia has some scrapes on the bottom, what does it cost to get a repaint...more so since this has the stripes?

8) Anything to look out for?

9) Passenger side door looks like it has a slight droop, is that an easy adjustment or fix?

The car sounded great, hotter than my 01...shifted sweet as well.

Yes

No

Yes

4) Does the engine have a hotter cam?

Yes

5) There is no damage, but the hood looks like it could be adjusted slightly...is this a big deal?

Maybe

6) Where there any recalls or service bulletins for this year?

Look up the VIN number at My Dodge: Official Dodge Owners website - Warranty, Vehicle Specs, Service Contracts, Financing, Dealers

7) The front fascia has some scrapes on the bottom, what does it cost to get a repaint...more so since this has the stripes?

Depends on where you go. I would not repaint as you will just scrape again.

8) Anything to look out for?

Lots. PM and I will give you my phone number so you can call me.

9) Passenger side door looks like it has a slight droop, is that an easy adjustment or fix?

No they are not easy to do unless you know what you are doing.

The car sounded great, hotter than my 01...shifted sweet as well.

Do they still have the stock rims and interior?
96-99 have the 708 cam, rough and lumpy..
The hood can be adjusted somewhat, but not gross adjustments. What is out on it?
96 had some leaky weatherstripping and cast, not forged rims. Many have oil leaks from the timing chain cover gasket, BOTH my 97 and 98 did.
Replaced my drivers door hinge, expensive part.
Do a search for:
Recall 998 -- 1996-1999 1/2 Steering Rack Mounts and Differential Mounts

If it is the one I am thinking about, it does not have the origional interior. I think it is blue now.

One side of the hood sits slightly lower than the other side, and was not sure if this was just an adjustment or?
