Everything looks right on the car even the window sticker. Even though 215 were made only 30 were equipped with the turbo 3.8. Very cool car.

Too bad the LS seats are missing.

What's he really looking to get for it?

This car has no motor or transmission. The body is in excellent condition, very, very minor blemishes, absolutely no rust. Paint is presentable, however it could use a paint job. Interior is in very good condition. There are two small tears on top of the rear seat from sun fading. The wheels are from a firebird, they are not true GNX wheels. This car is equipped with manual windows, door locks, and hydro boost brakes. The power steering pump, radiator, fan shroud, and drive shaft are with the car. The horn button and radio are missing. After some research that I have done, this car could be one of 225 produced in 1982, not 100% sure though. The vin # is 1G4AJ47A8CR145015. You can do your own research. It does have 3.8 liter badge on instrument cluster bezel and the grand national emblem on the passenger side dash plaque and has a boost gage. Also has turbo heat shield on bottom side of hood, which leads me to believe it was a turbo car. Car does have rebuilt title but was from theft.

This is NOT an '82 GN or Sport Coupe:
VIN (Vehicle Identification Number):1G4AJ47A8CR145015
8th digit is the engine, and A = 3.8 2bbl

Looks like someone stripped a 85 GN and put everything on a '82 body. Or maybe the VIN has been swapped.

It's right near me in Carrolton GA
I was going to take a run at it - but he told me a week or so ago he had it sold.

He told me on the phone his buddy did the ad - and it is a typo - it is a 84
But he needs to quit pumping it as a 82 GN.
He knows it is not.
And the more he pumps and fibs - the more it looks like a re-VIN.
Or just some black Regal with some "stuff".

But if you look closely at the pictures - it's neither.
It has a bunch of chrome trim, 85-87 GN interior stuff, some woodgrain, - then the 84 seats.
I'm not sure what this is until I get a good look at it.

I still might for the money.
The 84 LS seats is what I would be after for one of my cars, and according to him, and the pictures don't look bad - the body is nice and sorta shiny; i.e. not needing paint (now)
Of course - on the phone he said it did NOT need a paint job.
Now - if it needs a powertrain AND a paint job - keep it.
Money pit. Financial loser.
So that said - it might be well worth it as a roller to grab the 84 seats, put in my black seats, paint the trim, and make my wierd, all black, everywhere, LC2 powered TR I have been wanting to do.
And it sounds like it does have a G87 and maybe G80. - so that's a plus
I want to call my project GammaRay.
Opposite of Xray.
All black.
Not a single piece of shiny - anywhere.
Even the motor and interior - no chrome; completely black.
So I'm going to touch base with him - again.
We'll see.

The eBay car looks to be a fake with 82' and 84' ls seats. The Ohio car has all the right signs of a real one except the seats are not right. Ohio car looks like a 4.1 GN. 30 of the 215 were turbo.

So up in post #2, there is a GN that cliams to be the first based on VIN. Well here is one that thinks it's the "the earliest documented survivor of record!"
VIN = 1G4AJ4749CH225701

I would not call this car the earliest documented survior. There are plenty of '82 GN with lower VIN numbers. This car just happen to be the lowest number car on a PARTIAL list of conversions from Cars & Concepts. And the number is so out of line with the rest, that it's likely a misprint.

'82 GNs were not numbered on the dash or elsewhere. And the conversion order does not follow the assembly line build order. Cars & Concepts records are incomplete. No way to know which was first. They are all pretty much all the same, except the motor.

It is a very nice car though. It's been t 61k miles for long time now.


UPDATE: Sold for $6,500

You are looking at one of the RAREST GRAND NATIONALS MADE
These are so RARE alot of GN owners never even knew that before black
this is basically what started the whole GN history.
At the before black dot net website there is a registry and out of 215 known
made Grand Nationals made in 1982, so far only 35 Turbo models are known to exist.
The rest are actually V8 cars.
If you own a GNX, thats a great car to own if you want the fastest GN made and still
low production numbers, but if you want 1 of the RAREST and GNs made...here is a your
chance to own 1.
