Yes, still available.

Thanks guys, the buyer is welcome to flip it or turn it into a raceday rocket or whatever they wish. I just want to finish my Vette and then possibly snatch another GM Turbo ride.

http://imgur.com/gallery/Wppht Why?: I bought a modded Z06 that could use a turbo. Where: Dunn NC off of I-95 Year: 1986 Cost: 10,750 Firm Condition: Good Mileage: 85,000 Title:Clean Details: Bought this Grand National last Spring as a toy to turn into a street/strip machine while our local...

Update: Quote to repair completely is running about 7.5k, which is verging on totaling the car. That's not counting the fuel pump that mysteriously fried during all of this. Having the independent adjuster visit the shop so they can compare later in the week.

I'm currently looking for shops that would be qualified in my area. I know that Quality auto in Garner could do the engine work, and there's a local startup that does fantastic paint work...but they are separate units. If anyone knows of an all-in-one shop in central NC who can handle a turbo...

WELP I bought one. Needs a fair amount of work, but I do love a challenge.

Live in Raleigh, from Dunn, work in Fuquay Varina.

Hi guys My name is Gary and I live in Central NC. I'm currently searching for a fairly tame GN or T Type to work on and take to cars and coffee events on weekends. My current cars are paid off, my job is great, apartment is cheap, no kids of significant other. If I don't grab one now I fear I...
