Here it is.My machinist wants $14,000 for the car.That includes the car,the original motor,and original trans.The motor in it now has an aftermarket block.I believe he said it's a 4.1 liter.Also the transmission in the car is a built 200R4 or whatever they come with from the factory.The OD reads 26,000 miles.However the chassis has only seen that many miles.The built motor has only a few thousand miles on it and the factory motor has about 20,000 miles on it.I like the fact that the car was built by a guy that does this for a living and has been sponsored by Buick/GM for longer than I've been alive.Everyone I've spoken with about the car has said that if I'm looking for a GN this is the one I should go with.It goes low 11's on street tires and full exhaust and has seen 10.70's on drag radials.

Need I say more ?

jdm free · 11-18-2008, 04:46 PM

are you trying to sell the car. it seems like it so this should be in the f/s section

BigWhiteTodd · 11-18-2008, 04:48 PM

damn i love these cars

1000whpTSi · 11-18-2008, 04:49 PM

Not at all.This is the car I said I was possibly buying in my El Camino thread.
ok,anyway....My plan is to stuff the factory motor back in it and use the built motor in the El Camino.

Looks nice. I got mine for 11K afew years back. 65K w/ bolt ons, ran high 10s. 14K is a good deal if the car is really clean.

S4toSTI · 11-18-2008, 05:02 PM

It looks really nice.

1000whpTSi · 11-18-2008, 06:24 PM

yeah,it's in great shape.Only thing it needs is the hood emblem.He has it,just needs to put it on.All the original interior is in perfect condition.

TalonTsi97 · 11-18-2008, 09:16 PM

I'd definitely jump on that. Wish i was in a position to buy it myself!
