87 Buick Grand National. 82k original miles, all stock except a computer chip, air filter, and adjustable wastegate which were installed in the 90's. Looks great from 20 feet away, undercarriage is solid, floors, trunk, rockers, doors, frame etc are all rust free. Car was driven very little and in fair weather only. Sat under a tree for a while in my driveway so the hood and trunk lid have spots from acid rain or sap or whatever but the sides look great. The tops don't leak. It runs great and has tons of power, the rear end is posi and works, the turbo spools up nice, the transmission shifts perfect. This car has not been restored and it get driven about 500 miles a year so it's not a show queen and you can expect some minor scratches and chips and dings from being over 25 years old. I have the original build sheet showing the Grand National and Hatch Roof options. I also have some oil change receipts showing the mileage is accurate. Clean title. OK now for the negatives - there's a hole in the drivers seat the size of a quarter, the carpet is somewhat worn, some of the interior trim needs restoring, the headliner fabric was sagging so now its gone, its missing one center cap, the 3 is missing on the hood where it says 3.8 litre, there's a scratch on the rear quarter panel I took a close-up picture of it. Manual windows and locks.AM/FM and cassette, no CD player or iphone jack. I was driving it the other day and the red brake light came on and there was no power brakes. My mechanic thinks it needs a new accumulator on the powermaster brake system because there's no leaks in the system and all the brakes look good and the powermaster pump runs. He suggested I just put a normal vacuum brake booster on it but for originality I'll let you decide how to fix it. The air conditioning hasn't worked since 2003, I take the roof off and problem solved. If you are looking for a good driver that you can buy reasonable and are willing to invest some love this is your car. If you are expecting a 100 point show winner this isn't there yet. My kids are older now and would much rather go wakeboarding than sit at a car show so I'm selling this champion to the highest bidder. I have a truck so I can help with delivery within a few hundred miles of zip 14804 for the cost of fuel and expenses. The car is located in western NY state but has never seen salt. I strongly encourage all bidders to personally inspect the vehicle before bidding or send your people over to inspect it, my mechanic can put it on a lift for you to check it over carefully. Someone will have to come by and put cash in my hand before the car leaves here or send a certified check and wait for it to clear before sending a shipping company to pick it up. Note that I had some negative feedback when I was selling used motorcycle parts overseas last year, I finally gave up selling outside the US because customs would charge the buyers a tax and they would blame me. Most people find me pleasant to deal with. This car has a title issued by the state of Connecticut, valid in all 50 states. If you live outside the US then do your own research please.
