No idea of mileage, previous owner swapped dash out for a digital dash. Most of the dash gauges don't work, they just light up and look pretty like something out of night rider.
$10K possibly negotiable
Will entertain trade + cash
I do not have to sell the car. It's paid for. It can continue to sit on jackstands in the shop. I am selling because I have other priorities, and I don't see myself getting to do anything with it, anytime soon. It's been on jackstands for the last year. I'm starting my MBA this fall, and there goes another couple grand every semester.

The picture is about a year old. I don't have any recent ones. It is currently sitting in my shop, sheltered from weather, on jackstands, wheels off, with the turbo and intercooler off and a headlight bulb out.

Power Mods:
Turbo GT6131e, not currently installed. It has run very low 7's on the turbo.
60 lb injectors
255 pump less than 3K miles on it, hotwired
Adjustable regulator
Voltage booster (ups the voltage under WOT)
Accufab plenum and throttle body
MAF to Turbo hardpipe
LT1 MAF w/ MAFTranslator
Big ass K&N
Welded and ported stock headers
Terry Houston 3" DP w/ cut out
Flowmaster full dual exhaust
NOS wet kit
Chip tuned by Eric at Turbo Tweak

Driveline:
Art Carr built 200 trans w/ B&M shifter
Art Carr 3K stall
Upgraded driveshaft w/ spicer joint
DS Safety loop

VERY NICE REAR END
Strange 9" rear, 35 spline, Posi diff

Suspension:
Car has cut 1.6's on turbo, low 1.5's on nitrous on MT DR's
Lowering springs, no clue what kind
Lakewood 90/10's up front
Koni's out back
Hotchkis rear control arms

Body:
OE style fiberglass hood
OE style FG trunk
OE style FG bumpers
Aluminum replacement bumper brackets
Car was repainted about 2K miles ago

Issues/Other:
No AC, all of it was removed for weight/cooling
Some of the sound deadening removed for weight
Front driver fender is scuffed, not ruined though.
Turbo not currently installed
Car does not have an intercooler, I sold the stretch stock location with plans of going FMIC
Driver seat bracket is broke. 87 bracket didn't hold up to the launches
Front tires are different sizes. Since it never moves, I traded them for my same size tires to help somebody out
Pretty sure it needs the brake master either replaced or converted. I drove it to work with no wrecks, but the brakes were iffy IMHO. Drive at your own risk.
Going out on a limb....the battery is probably dead.

Car comes with a built motor.
It will have to be picked up in Philadelphia, MS. It's been collecting dust in Butler Cylinder Heads' shop for the past forever. He went through it to make sure all was well, and then I never did anything with it. Yes, it is paid for
Ported heads/intake
Comp cams w/ upgraded valvetrain
.030 stock block
Forged rotating assembly
Girdled
ARP hardare

Purchase of this car will include all of the turbo Buick stuff I own. OE replacement seat covers & a lot of random parts.
