1987 WE-4 Astroroof Car in CA

[King Monza]

Sorry for the redundancies in the post.. but I am copy/pasting my craigslist add. Let me know if you have any questions. All reasonable offers considered!

So here is the story. I have owned this car for about 5 years and I have spent about 3 years building it up to be the fastest street car possible. You will be hard pressed to find any daily driven street car out there that is faster! However, I have just received an amazing opportunity to start a new program that will take me over seas for 1-2 years. At this point in my life, I really don't need a ridiculously fast, high horsepower car anymore. I am willing to be patient on selling this car, because I am not moving for a few months. If I don't get a reasonable offer, I will simply be throwing the car into storage until I get back. That being said, tire kickers need not respond!

This car is THE ULTIMATE sleeper. Hands down, the turbo regal is the king of street sleepers and this particular one is one of the baddest builds out there! The car even won the “Best Sleeper Award” at a recent car show in Irvine, CA. Every part is well documented with receipts and every part was the absolute best quality that money could buy. The car is very solid and was built buy one of the top Buick shops in the country, “Mizzi's Automotive.” At this shop in Northern California, they are known for building some of the country's best Turbo Regals, Grand Nationals, GNX's and classic hot rods.

I have owned several cars that performed faster than the 12 second quarter mile mark and this car is, by far, much faster than any of my previous cars. The car is most likely faster than my old race car when it is on high boost. I have not yet dyno'd or tracked the car because I can't afford to put a set of sticky tires on it, as I am still finishing up school. This car will NOT stop spinning the tires until you get into third! The car also runs great on pump gas and gets very close to 20mpg when driven nicely.

This car would be a thieves nightmare.

The only downside to the car is that it has not been restored to be pretty yet. The paint is an honest 6.5/10 and is completely original. There are a few dings and minor dents around the car which is to be expected from a 23+ year old car. The interior is also not in perfect shape. There is a tear in the front driver's seat on the bottom and the headliner sags a bit. The rest of the interior is in great shape, including the rear seats, carpeting, dash and compartments. The trunk even has the spare tire, carpeting and tire cover!

I purchased the car bone stock for about 10K several years back and I have invested well over $15,000 into the car over the last several years. A recent friend of mine sold his WE-4 for about 25K with a new paint job and a slightly less aggressive build. I am looking to get $20,000 for the car. If you are looking for a top notch, ultimate sleeper, that only goes up in value, then this is the car for you! I am not interested in giving joy-rides or test drives for tire kickers or hustlers, so please don't waste my time. If you have any questions, please call Mike at 707-372-1767 or e-mail me at L2nDrummer215@aol.com

Carpet is dirty. Driver seat should be recovered on the bottom half, headliner is held up by thumb tacks at the moment. All of the other panels are perfect. I can take pics of anything you would like to see up close.

Mine isnt for sale going to my kid, just wanted to say whats up and...
I have an 87 WE4 as well, 44k original miles with a few flaws from being parked in the garage for the past 13 years ;-). Mine has a stage 2 with MA's, spent buckets on the motor and turbo people to set it up, I know how quickly performance parts and wrenching can drain the pockets.. Good luck with the sale!

Thanks man! Sounds like you have a beautiful ride. I wish I could hold onto mine for my future kids, but its just not in the cards.

Sweet ride. Definite sleeper. Good luck with the sale.

:biggrin: yeah what ed said ...

 

[King Monza]

Thanks for the kind words guys. This car is NOT made to be a show car. It is NOT a low mileage collector car. It is a car that kicks ass on pump gas, doesn't get a whole lot of attention from cops and has been ending up on peoples photo galleries all over the internet as "hey check out this really rare car that still gets daily driven."


Any reasonable offers will be considered.

 

[Ed Valvo]

I know the engine is built good. Mizzi's is good people. I've never seen so many Stage II engines in one place...

get off his d*** its just a forum no need to get all serious

 

[King Monza]

Thanks for the kind words guys. Just in case anyone who is interested in turning the car into a collector car, I have not just the build documentation but all of the original paper work from the dealer, the dealer stock tags, sales sheet, dealer warranty flier, build sheet and the original owners and service manuals.

Also, the car was built and first sold in Fremont, CA. It was then sold by the original owner to a guy in Vallejo, CA. From there I bought the car and brought it down to Southern, CA where it is today.

howbout some closeups of the problem areas. like how bad are the dings and where are they located exactly? how bad really is the paint? shoot some closeups cause the pics u posted dont really say much about its condition.

does the moonroof open and close properly and does it leak at all? hows the door moldings and astroroof moulding? any rust?

I must say its good to know I can get some extra thumbtacks with my $20k... Hopefully one doesn't fall from the headliner right before the new owner sits in the seat!:biggrin:
