Mechanically sound, some minor issues - but, seems to pretty well sorted now.

Nah, guy I got it from may have gotten it as a roller. I had it, sold it to a guy in Texas maybe 8ish years ago. He blew it up, another guy got it and made it right again and I got it back last year. I'm downsizing and need cash now.

I was just curious, looks like a car I had years ago...good luck with the sale
 
This car has an Atlanta recovered theft VIN # right? If so, I owned it and know the back story...was a legit low mile car and Chris Lyons has a Stage motor in it at one time, then sold as a roller. Was a nice car!
 
Correct, I got it from Chris originally as a basic mod running car though. Sold it around 2010, got it back last year.

Thanks!

Small world! I bought that car and a higher mile GN from an ex cop in Rome/Utica NY area. Held onto that for a little bit with about 28k miles on it if I remember correctly. Sold it to MikeTTA89, he sold it to Grumpy, ended up having bad rings, he sold it to Chris. I had fallen in love with it as the identical twin to my Limted minus the Landeau roof. But I couldn't keep 3 low mile cars. Now I'm turbo-less and on the hunt.

When I bought the car I tracked down the cop that actually recovered it after it was stollen in GA and I got the low down on the damage (non to speak of) but the insurance paid out and it was a re-vinned car. It is a true mile car and would not hesitate to own it again knowing that. Good luck with the sale, glad to see it still out there.
 
I had it after grumpy and sold it to Chris I’m pretty sure.... I should have kept that car... didn’t even get to put a motor in it. To many deployments and not enough time. If this was around before I got my blue T I would have bought it again... I’m guessing Ron bought it?

Lol, that car gets around!! That is one of the nicest turbobuicks I have owned I really liked that car. I put a motor together for it but not a stage motor basic build I believe I had it running high 11's in street trim when I sold it to Nick?

I thought I saw pics of it after the guy in Texas got a hold of it I am glad to see you brought it back from the dead.
