1987 BUICK GRAND NATIONAL -SOLD
VIN: 1G4GJ1173HP461480

My nicely modified GN has sat in the garage this summer (with the car cover). I have not driven it hardly at all in the last 3 years. I don’t have much time to drive it and have lost interest. I could use the garage space so it is time to sell. My asking price is $28,000. Please no low-balls. You know what it takes to duplicate this car. The car is located near Romeo, MICHIGAN. I am not looking for trades. Please send me a private message with your phone number or I can provide my number through the private message here on the forum. I can provide many pictures as needed but the best way is to see the car in person. I purchased car in August 2009 when it had approximately 77,000 miles. The previous owner had the car painted Fall of 2008. There is absolutely no rust on the vehicle. Vehicle has over 620 RWHP at 24# of boost and tuned by Cal Hartline. Yes, it runs a 10 sec 1/4 at 131 mph. Probably go 9 sec by turning up boost but that is too fast for me. Current mileage on body is about 81,000 and about 3,700 on engine. Engine was built in 2011. I have Carfax from time of purchase documenting miles. AC has been converted to R134A and blows cold. GN was purchased with front and rear aluminum bumper cores and bumper supports. Weigh ticket from previous owner shows vehicle weight at 3320 lbs.

Options
T-tops; Power Windows; power locks; power driver’s seat; power trunk opener; concert sound II (radio changed to early 90s Delco radio w/ CD/equalizer/modified to play mp3/ipods; cruise control; Rear window defroster; power antenna (changed to fixed antenna)
