Extremely rare low fuel warning light. This option was not even offered on any Regals, Grand Nationals or T-Types in 1987, but provisions were built into the instrument cluster to accept the low fuel indicator. This car is probably one of only a handful, if not the only one to have this option.

This car is also equipped with a LoJack vehicle recovery device which can be activated by local police in the event the car is stolen. LoJack operates in about 30 U. S. states and 30 countries worldwide. This device was installed by the dealer when the car was purchased new in 1987 at a cost of around $1000.00, however you will need to contact LoJack to update the unit for the new owner. Go to the LoJack website for details and coverage areas.

Pix of '87 GN

Also willing to trade for streetable 1970 (only) Road Runner 440 4spd does not have to be matching numbers

for $15,500 you better scrub that under carriage and engine a little harder.

 

[GNDriver1]

The car is pretty clean, not spotless, but much nicer than many of them out there. If you want showroom condition be prepared to spend a lot more than $15K...

It was the Last part of your ad that got me, what I read and how I interpreted it, Your advertisment came across that this forum is just a gathering of wishfull people who dont own these cars and you show up with a 22 year old car and 6 whole post's to enlighten me?

the engine is crusty and so is underneath, i dont care if it has a gold plated steering wheel, with todays economy if you pull 15k for that then many blessings go out to you.

Good luck with sale, IM sure it will find a good home

Aww nevermind, momma said if you can't say anything nice.....................

Nice try with the sales pitch, but people on this forum are very educated when it comes to these cars. I suggest you take some time and research some posts as to what has sold for how much and in what condition. I bet you will be quite surprised. If not, get ready for some backlash.

Nice car by the way. Not a $15K car, but nice.

It seems lately in this forum that if people don't agree with a person's price on his car that ALL they want to do is criticize if it doesn't have this or that. The market will dictate if his car sells or not,not a bunch of SO CALLED EXPERTS!!!!!!!!!

You know Mr Parks, I was going to respond to the post you made in the $45k GNX thread but declined.

I know an individual that looked in person at the $45k GNX and I have a list of problems with the car...... NOT listed in his ad... that is deception from the buyer not listing that in his ad. But yet YOU defended him and kicked the board members in the nuts for calling him out.

Here you are again kicking board members and defending a car I bet 99% that you have never seen in your life or even know the seller. What an ass that makes YOU look like.

I guess you are from the "show me State"

This car appers nice in the paint, we are just telling him what potential buyers want to see.

and Yes, having owned 5 GN's all under 20k origional miles and a TTA under 20k origional miles, I and others do know what we are talking about..... experts no,,,,, damn knowledgable buyers YES!

Cheers!

I'm NOT defending anybody!!! Just let people look at the vehicles,and let them make their OWN decision.
Personal attacks on me are ok. I guess it makes the person feel better. I hope it did!!!!!!

Looks like to me you kicked first, I just responded.

Back on topic, good luck with the sale of your car.

 

[GNDriver1]

I didn't expect quite the reaction here, but a good healthy debate enlightens us all. As the post reads, the $15,500. is an asking price/starting point or best reasonable offer. It's such a nice car I'll just keep it and enjoy it rather than give it away.

 

[Mark Parks]

I don't blame you!!!!!!!!!

 

[Junior Samples]

And thats what I should have said from the get go, it wont pull that kind of money, so keep it but while you have it do this..

Change the pitbull chip..too much timing for todays gas..prolly getting spark knock like crazy..get a TT chip or Bob's

And when the market warms up, by that time you will have detailed the engine area and underneath.

Then when you relist it...forget the RAM AIR part...you cant Ram Air into a Turbo impeller...old ideas from 20 years ago.

Also good idea to list who rebuilt the tranny...very few good 200 builders out there that WILL make them stout enough to handle the torque.

Have fun but change the chip and get a scan tool also
