1987 Buick Grand National
I have had the car since 1993. Paid $9,000 then for a GN in rough condition. Went through the "bolt-on" stage and ran 11's like most of us. Then I decided to restore it so I could wash it with out getting cut :smile: As you can see from the list below, I replaced almost everything. I put over $14,000 into the restoration. Then I decided to not lose any more races, so I went stage II. I am not sure of the exact dollars for that project, as I was NEVER going to sell my ride. I know I have over $20K wrapped up in it.
It is very streetable. Never overheats, even with air on. Roller-billet 4 speed trans is great for street and strip. Trans brake is a blast in a street race. It was assembled with care and knowledge.
I am selling it for personal reasons and that's that.
It can be seen in Northern Indiana. call 574 51 42334
