The car is overall in excellent shape with 86k miles. It dyno'd 304whp and 295wtq. There isn't a single rock chip on the front, but does have a small chip on the top of the rear quarter panel, and a few other very small imperfections here and there. The interior is also in pretty good condition. The drivers seat and steering wheel both show minor wear. There are no floormats, but does have factory plastic on the front floors.
There are some small issues with the car, but aren't nothing to worry about. One of them is a small exhaust leak from the drivers side manifold-to-midpipe. I should have this fixed before it leaves my hands. The car also has the Check Engine light on, which is because I don't have MIL eliminators for the 02's when I put on the X pipe. The speedo isn't calibrated for the 3.73, and reads incorrectly. There is also a very minor shake around 50mph from the tires not being very well balanced. It didn't do this till I had the tires put on. I do have new fog lights for the bumper, but haven't installed them. The only other thing that has bugged me about the car is that the dip stick has never read correctly. I even ordered a new one in hopes of it being the wrong one, but it didn't fix it.
I've always ran 91+ octane and ran Mobile 1 fully synthetic oil, and changed every 2,000-3,000 miles. The car usually gets 25mpg highway, and 19ish in town, depending on how I drive it. It is a hard running car, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. As of right now it has a fresh Mobile 1 oil change with Mobile 1 filter. I'm sure I've left some details out, so PM me with ANY questions. The pictures below are a few months old. I will take a bunch of pictures later this week. Pictures shown are when it still had DRs on the rear. It now has G-Force Sports.
$12,500

Dude, i like everyone of us here have purchased plenty of parts spending hundreds of dollars with brian, i have purchased plenty of parts from gbody and never not even once did anything go wrong, i was'nt charged twice, or paid for parts i never got, and for brian himself to come on and respond the way he did, tells me your not being totally honest. you obviously don't know these vendors work hard, so that we can have parts and items we love for our cars, there is not a huge mark-up on for these vendors, we have lost some vendors (remember ATR ) i have purchased well over $15k in parts from all the buick vendors, and not once have i gotten any bad service.
so for you to join this board just to tell the rest of us don't buy from gbody,
is ludacris (?) i believe brian's side of this arguement, brian has a reputation as do most buick vendors of being fair & honest. I hope you find a solution to your problem, i never want to see a fellow buick guys get a bad deal, but THAT'S NOT what happen'd here.
good luck

Thanks for the heads up...
Hi my name is Danny
I spent last year over 1500 bux to gbody parts for the following tail lights intercooler radiator hoses and the main one is an aluminum radiator the was a direct bolt on and I asked him multi times if it was a direct bolt. So like a mouth after this I look at my credit card and it says 300 bux 2 gbody parts, so I called and they tried billing me for something I didn't buy but that was fine because I got my money back eventually . so about a couple mouths ago I decide to put all the things I got from him on my car everything works fine till I get to the direct bolt on radiator........lord Be hold it didn't fit and there would have 2 be modifications done 2 the car..... so I call them up and say I got the wrong radiator and they said the would take it back and give me the direct bolt on one but I 2 give them $175 but he said he would repay me for shipping cost........so a week or 2 later still no radiator so I call and they said they never got the money order so I call the money order company and they said they cashed it a week b4 I called them. so call back and they said they would ship it out ....so once again a week or 2 still no radiator ... call again said will ship out tomorrow .....so finally another week later got my radiator but no 52 bux for my shipping chargers that they said they would pay so called them yet again and the lady said she would get my money shipped out 2 me so I'm like cool about 20 min's later Mr Brian himself calls me and says there is NO F' in way he would give me my money back and 2 never F' in buy anything from him again
so after getting the run around for a couple mouths I wouldn't advise any body 2 buy from this guy nice way 2 run your businesses swear at your customer and tell him not to do business with you after he waited forever to get what was his
GO TO SCHOOL. Its not that hard to type or talk. Next time you want to bash someone, it might be a good idea to learn basic communication skills so that someone can actually take you seriously, and look at you as an adult. B4 is not a word.... You just proved to the Buick community how stupid someone such as your self really is.

So you think that everyone reading this is going to believe you bought a Rad from me in person at the nats & didn't notice it didn't have a trans cooler & I didn't point that out?
It pisses me off that you would insult the intellagence of this board's members more then it does that you are lying.
The reason your radiator was held up in the first place was due to you not sending shipping costs.
My wife Kasci that you are reffering to wouldn't have agreed to send you $52.00 on a radiator that I asked you to cover the $30.00 in shipping. She was here when you called wanting to swap radiators. After the conversation between me & you she knew who I was talking to.
This is the best part The lady you spoke with with was Craig 28 years old & doesn't sound like a women. He told me you called & stated you wanted shipping $. I said next time Danny calls & it will not be more then 10 minutes
let me talk to him.That is when I told you where to go & how I felt.
Now you can come back & state you spoke with Kasci who was in the hospital but I know that didn't happen.
Once again stop insulting my friends on this board's intellagence it pisses me off more then your lies.
Vendors will get an e-mail tomorrow on this guy. I wasn't going to do this because I thought he learned his lesson.
Give you what you paid for on a radiator you purchased after 13 months later. Delivered it to BG for you. Then took it back with out you sending me shipping $ & want Shipping back on a radiator you installed.
I can't call you ball less so I'll just call you a bird d!ck.

Here's the problem- you took a private matter public, hoping that others would put pressure on a vendor.
It backfired. Live with the results. Your loss.

Most of the people that said bad things were stupid people like you when he was right in the middle of moving his business to a new location. Even though it stated here on the boards, his site, and he told people when they ordered things that it might take a while, they all started complaining when it did.

Mike, i hope you don't have some kind of "nazi" list do you?
If i am reading into your post correctly.
Just because "joe" has a problem with "ed" does not mean we all have to have a problem with "ed".......if you follow me.

g parts
I have called and ordered from g parts asked all kinds of questions never had a problem or felt pushed off I think he does a great job.
Nope I told him to go F himself & will do it every time you call.
Everytime you call it is to beat us down on a price or whine about this or that to try & get some type of discount I don't need it. You bought that radiator last year in BG. You inspected, beat me down on the price as usual.We come out with our new rads & you say this 1 doesn't fit so you can get our new unit.We sold about 20 of the old units with no problems.
Danny's statement was I didn't realize it didn't have both coolers.
There was no $300 charged to your CC or you would have asked for 10% intrest on your $.
This is Typical for Danny.
I take the old style rad back & state pay the difference & shipping I will take it back. I after all did have to transport this 1 to BG for you & now have to ship another unit.
You send it back messed up.No shipping for ours to you. Then you have the balls to ask me for shipping on a damaged unit to me.
Let me repeat myself incase you didn't understand on the phone GO F yourself & do not call here wanting parts, I will not sell them to you.
Please go beat down other vendors & call them 10 times a day.
If you spent $1500 with me I'm sure you got $1800.00 worth of parts.
POST every where in the world that I said this to you & I will not deny it. Anyone who deals with you eventually will quote me.

It doesn't. I think it's just you.
