The TX-Indy frame has IFS, the TX has leaf spring front suspension.

I don't need to be a moderator to know the rules and ask people to follow them.

If older sleds are your passion, I would say go for it. If you just want to spend cheap money I would say keep looking. 80's and early 90's sleds are falling in this price range.
