Save couple more $$ and buy an 86-87. It's like buying the worst house in the best neighborhood.
 
Buy a 86-87 and save 1000s of dollars Judging by that rust on the decklid, ummmmm hell no. The rest of that car is rusty and you just dont have pics of it.

Buy a southern car
 
IMO, that's NOT a car you should start your "GN career" out with. Hidden rust for sure, & poor performance compared to 86/7.
 
Agree with all the above and by the time you get finished the rusty floors doors and adding pretty much a complete 86 87 drivetrain to accomplish the power that you heard of
you have spent another six thousand plus go 86 87 from the beginning

I started with an 85GN. Biggest mistake I ever made. Run away now and save yourself a lot of pain and suffering and especially your wallet. Simply spend a little more now on an 86/87. After I wrecked my 85 the thought of getting another hot air never entered my mind. Went straight to an 87.
 
I had the same experience as Brad_padgett to the t only sold my 85 and hunted around here for a while and got a 87

Good advice the guy seems to shady he's telling me the car has 45000 miles on it there's no way I'm going to buy a lemon lol so what's the price of an 86 87 gn in ok condition
 
I have a clean 86 t-type if u like original 69k on the car no rust the car was worked on by turbo performance pa most guys here use him there is a huge list of things done never raced just basic mods injectors spring hp fuel pump new tank springs shocks and more. Turbo original never touched it's perfect no play I have a list my number is 7187750534
If u like pics video my price is firm but fair $13k
