Just looked at a 1 owner 1987 T-Top GN. 165K miles. Was daily driver for 12 years and now is parked for last 5 years with infrequent weekend use. Original everything! Original paint is fair/poor and will need to be repainted, Kirbin GNX style wheels with fair/poor tires, nice original GN wheels with Eagle GT's go with car, cracked bumper fillers, nice grill/tailights, NO rust car, Kirban exhaust, Never any accident damage, Nice dash, nice steering wheel, Poor upper door panels, front seat covers show wear and split, rear seat covers good, carpet original and good, rest of interior good, original radio bad, good brakes and brake unit, totally original under the hood, A/C needs charged, Good glass and T-Tops. All original weatherstripping that will need replaced. Car will need the above addressed and car painted. Underside of car, doors fenders quarters etc are all excellent, T-Top bags and trunk lining/spare tire complete. Mechanically the cars starts, stops, drives etc. It has NEVER had the turbo changed, transmission has NEVER been rebuilt and NEVER any engine work/underhood work with exception of the water pump. Car was religously service with all service receipts for work. The original owner is a Buick fanatic who knew the type of service and maintaince these cars required.
The car has ALL THE PAPERWORK down to the original temporary tag! This includes the window sticker and 18 years of receipts for the care of this car. Folder is 2 inches thick!
This car will really need restored but is an excellent car to do. Given the mileage and the potential expense for unforeseen mechanical needs, the fact that the cosmetics need a complete redo and the high mileage.
What can I pay for this car and not be too badly killed or buried money wise in this car??????
Thanks for your opinions and advice.
