    I I am not buying that car anymore, besides it had 10K on the GNX dash and 40K on the original. The new hardtop is explained in the rest of the posts.

    Got some info on the hardtop car... Its an original owner garage queen, it has had its transmission rebuilt to higher performance specs. Upgraded clutch packs, servos, valve body etc... It has been repainted, but needs some wet sanding and detailing (swirl marks, minor surface cracks on...

    Purchasing a Grand National soon, need to pick between two.

    Can't pick one, I am not even in the United States right now, next week I will. I need more info on the hard top car, I need more pictures. $15,000 is not chump change, especially when you only make $30,000 a year. I am moving to the T-top side, especially its rare options...this car will be a...

    The T-top car has perfect weatherstripping, looks new...no cracking. I have lots of pictures of that car. The hard top I can only find three pictures of it and the elderly gentleman who owns it does not know how to work the "google machine" , his son put the ad up. I am trying to get more...

    Well...looks like car #1 sold..:( But I found a stock hardtop for $15K a few miles away with 32K miles. Now I need to decide between a heavily optioned up '86 T-top car with 38K and a '87 Hard top car with base options with 32K for the same price.

    I am a pretty accomplished detailer and paint and body guy. I can tell from the other pictures he gave me that the paint damage can be fixed more than likely by wet sanding and polishing. The dents I can fix with a can of air and a heat gun...lol. The rust can be fixed with a wire brush, some...

    Well as far as car #1 was concerned it appears to me from talking to him that he never got a chance to give it a run. It looks like somebody was in the midst of building a dream grand national and was not able to continue and sold it to this guy. The underside of the car looks like you could eat...

    12k mile Buick GN survivor for sale

    Sounds like it might have some problems from sitting too long. Sometimes it is harder on a car not to drive it than to put a lot of miles on it, problems might pop up. Good luck though
