Hi, This is what info I can remeber off hand I have it written some place. 1987 GN t-top 120,000 miles.

I have new NOS headlight bezels whick are not made any more and turnsignal/corner lens new NOS. It has a few custom chips, with an LS1 MAF sensor and translator. It has a Scanmaster for tuning as well. Most Autometer pro-comp gauges. I have new upper door panels, new carpet, seat upholstery on the original re-covered buckets. I have not put the interior back in yet I have a few more sheets of Dyna-mat to install and then put the carpet followed by seats and it will need a headliner. T-tops need the new rubbers put in which I have all the pieces and info booklets to put in. I will get to it soon. Like new tires Dunlops I believe. The back are 275 or bigger on the farctory chrome/steel wheels. They fill the wheel well. I have new body mounts and suspension bushings and a larger front sway bar. Bilstien shocks the good ones not the cheap ones. I have all new hoses some on the car, new dual electric fans it has a lager core radiator in it. I has a front mount ESP intercooler. It has a brand new turbo. It is a dual ball bearing turbo from ESP but is a P-trim I believe with liquid cooled center cection GT6776 I think or it is the 61mm P-trim. It spools fast and acts like a larger turbo but needs less stall. New actuator. It has a 70mm throttle body and Accufab upper plenum and port matched lower intake. New 60lb Motron injectors and matching chip ajdustable fuel pressure regulator. New Holley fuel pump will support 600 HP. I have the biggie oil filter adapter and an RJC power plate not on yet. KN air filter. Hooker Super comp headers. Supposed to have a 3K 9.5" stall does feel tighter. Non lock up. Has billet servo. All the factory oil coolers in place. Working electric brake booster. PW, PL, PS, power drivers seat with new switch. Anti window ratlle kits not in yet. Slotted and dimpled rotors. New Eibach lowering springs. $500+ pioneer stero not in yet. I may keep that. 2004r trans stock 3.42, 8.5 inch rear. line lock. SFI flex plate, new cam senor, crank sensor, spark control module, ignition module, wires plugs. Engine has been recently rebuilt not by me and is running strong. Although since doing the interior I have not run it yet since then. Did run great. Needs full tune to run the best does run great as is though. I have new cast aluminum Buick 6 power valve covers and an extra set of heads with some port work and larger valve easily a 50hp gain from a head swap. I would yank the flat tappet cam in it. it is a performance grind and I personally go hyd roller cam. Just me. Lager up pipe and 3" down pipe with larger elbow and dump with test tube for out the pass enger side. Dual 2 or 2.5 out the back with Dyno-max mufflers.

Down side is the car has a poor drivers quality paint job but the bumper fillers ect are nice. Front header panel has hairline cracks but nothing major. I had to replace the factory drivers side floor pan. I did so with another floor from a rust free car out of KS. I have passeger spare floor but don't need it. I mig welded it all and re-inforced all of the floor. Coated with POR-15 to kill and stop rust. The floor rot was from leaky T-tops. Under side sealed and under coated to stop the rust and protect my welds. Full Dyno-matunder drivers/passenger front floors working our way back. Under rear seats solid and will eventually get Dyno-mat. THe car drives and handles great. Needs those t-top seals and door window weather strips which I have.

I'm sure there is more. Most stuff on the car but I'm finishing the rest as I get the time. At some point it really needs a re-paint but looks OK for now. They didn't do the needed prep work. Lots of other parts.

Check the book value and I have several thousand in up-grades I'm in no hurry to sell but I like 66s and I prefer my old cars to newer stuff.
This car has been increasing in value since I got it and should continue. it is an 87 with a clear car title in my name.

With methanol injection it would easily run in the 11s. They are very fast cars.
