$6K OBO. Taking a loss. THIS CAR's VIN shows AS A 3.8 (has "A") NON TURBO CAR. Long story short I got screwed over by the previous seller who took advantage of my ignorance and claimed it was a real true GN. I bought the car about a year ago. At the time I had no idea about the VIN engine indicator and I checked for all physical indicators and could not find any. Many GN enthusiasts have ridden and drove the car with me and had no idea. Nothing in this car is not GN (aside from the VIN and frame most likely). Car is a rebuilt title so I assume some shady dealership in Delray (I have their receipts looks like they took two cars and made one) I dont know if the previous owner knew, but the owner before him purchased this car from a Used car dealership for $11K around 1999. He then spent approximately another 4K on engine and driveline. CAR IS IN SOUTH FLORIDA

I typically like to build up cars and after I found out about the VIN issue it broke my heart and I could not get it out of my head. I want clean title Turbo Regal so I have bought a roller. Initially I was going to swap motors and part this car out but I cannot. The car is too nice and I know someone would enjoy it. So I am selling it whole and using the funds to build a nice shortblock motor for my new T type roller.

It rides great, trans shifts great, no slipping. The interior is nice, however the front driver seat has some rips, it needs a new paintjob and weatherstripping on the rear window and side windows. AC works awesome, I cannot drive a car in South Florida without it especially in the summer. I have driven the car to Kendall and homestead almost weekly from Fort Lauderdale (60 mi round trip). The tach is broken (Shows fully red) but the boost gauge works fine. Brakes are fine, checked pads all is fine.

The car came with a huuuge folder and pictures from the engine rebuild. A lot of time and money has been spent on this car, as I said it is way too nice to part out and would make someone very happy. All you need to do is repaint the car and replace the weatherstripping and front seat and itll be a great looking car.

Car has a few things:

TA 49 w/Billet Ball Turbo

Updated MAF Translator

Updated Air cleaner and all aftermarket pipes

Brand New Nitto NT 55 rear tires... Just bought two months ago.

Vacuum Brakes with Booster, I just changed the vacuum block with a billet one that has the one outlet on the right side. Not in pics.

Weld Wheels

Art carr shift kit listed on receipts, I saw somewhere that there was a Art Carr converter but I cannot find the docs.

Stock intercooler and stock radiator.

I also have a new baffled unused Gas tank with all the new straps from kirbans.

One last thing Car currently has full coilover suspension that I am removing for my new car (this is non negotiable and I have a stock suspension I will be swapping on it before the car is sold). $6K, located in South Florida. Give me a shout. Please no negative comments, I am already going to take a loss dont need to rub it in.
