Id recommend taking it to one of the local shops for a once over..
I took mine to lic after I bought mine on a hunch that it'd been raced... found out it had a new block and all kinds of crazy stuff.

If it has a roll-cage doesn't that mean you need to wear a helmet all the time? If that roll cage is anywhere near your head in a crash and you hit it without a helmet on you'll be smushed like a grape.
I would take it for a thorough inspection before buying.

Not really.
All the bolton cages don't really do much for the stiffness, they're just for rollover protection (and most people would argue that getting into an accident with a rollcage is actually MORE DANGEROUS IF YOU AREN'T WEARING A HELMET) - you go and see the real cages on competition cars they're all welding to the chassis at as many points as possible.
Bolton cages, like harness bars, were originally developed for the show car and street/show car crowd.

yo peeps
the roll cage is cusco bolt in. i plan on removing it.
the car is rediculously clean, and was owned by one owner. older military guy who put stuff in cuz it "looked cool". the car also has titanium strut tower bars, and a simpson harness. the harness looks never used. honestly it is almost as clean as my old 2004 with 20k on it!
none the less it cost me nothing. traded straight across for the treg. they had the treg sold to another dealer as i was leaving....
pics will be up as soonas i can get the damn card to read....
