Vehicle Detail
Please read everything before bidding, and ask all questions before bidding. 1986 Buick Grand National T-tops, easy restoration project. Approx 130,000 miles. I have owned this car over 8 years, its been sitting in a dry garage for the last 8 years. Bought it for a project and I never got to it, and I just dont have the time. The car is in decent condition, its not a show car, but its not a rust bucket. Note: mileage is an approximation, I removed a ATR GNX style dash that showed 060,127 miles on it, the GNX dash was installed the the early 90s ( have recipt to show it) so my best guess is approx 130,000 miles total. I have receipts that verify. It has a factory digital dash in now that I put in, shows 46,934 miles but mileage is not correct for this car. The dash does not light up, I checked the wiring ok, Caspers can rebuild them. Paint has delamination, cracks, and fading, looks ok as a driver, but could use a paint job. Interior is very decent, has some minor wear, needs a headliner (easy fix) Old window tinting is bubbling on rear window, needs tint removed. Car drives strong and transmission shifts firm, has 3.73 Richmond rear end gears. Engine has a knocking noise, checked oil pressure with warm engine, 30psi at idle and 55psi 2000 rpm. (may be a simple repair). And it has an exhaust leak, sounds like the left side header pipe, (typical) Has stock turbo and injectors, has a fuel pump hot wire kit. Has the typical surface rust these cars get on the under side of car. Under side of car is dirty, you can see in the pics, and old spider webs from sitting. No bubbles or rust through seen in floors, doors, rockers, 1/4 panels or fenders, (and I've had it 8 years). Minor rust spot at T-top area and in door jam, should be an easy fix. All 4 tires match, stock size and in very good condition approx 90%. Overall a solid project car, fix the engine knock and drive it. Do the rest little at a time. Car is being sold as-is , no warranty or guaranty expressed or implied Mileage is approximate, exact mileage is not known. Replacement dash shows 46,934 miles now. Clean title, current registration and tags Buyer must contact seller within 24 hours, deposit via Paypal of $500.00 immediately, payment in full within 7 days. Or it will be relisted. Prefer balance paid in cash or money wire transfer. Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs. Car is listed elsewhere, I reserve the right to end auction early if it sells before end of auction This is a running driving car, but the engine knock needs to be address before it could be a daily driver. Recommended to have some mechanical knowledge of these cars, or have someone that does. I included a picture of the GNX dash removed to show mileage when I removed it in 2004, ( GNX dash dosnt come with car ) The car has only been driven about 40 miles since then.
