Looking at a 97 Cobra Convert Need help/Carfax!

Hello all,
I have been looking since I got back from Iraq for a good daily driver while I work on my 68 Coupe. Well I came across a 97 Cobra Convert that the guy wanted $5300 for. He is trying to get rid of things and get money for a down payment on a house. I went and looked at it and it seems pretty straight and not too abused. A few things I did notice is going into second gear it will grind if you try to get it in there quickly. It gives a little grind but if you go slower it goes right in. What do you think that could be? I dont want to get this thing and have the tranny go out on my a week later. It will also need the seats to be recovered, new shocks/springs (lowering), and just a good professional cut and buff. So what does everyone think? Is it worth it? Here is the VIN in case someone can help me out with a carfax:

1FALP46V1VF144735

97 Cobra Convertible
103,XXX miles
Top Works
Needs Shocks
Tranny Has small grind when putting into 2nd gear with force
Needs buffing/cleaning

Any information you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help in advance!

Semper Fi,
Kris

My first guess would be Synchronizes... Pretty normal for those to go first
