I purchased this car a few months ago off a guy on craigslist from Detroit. After flying from NY to Detroit i was disappointed that the owner didnt inform me on certain issues. It turns out 5 years ago the car was stolen and the vin was ripped off the dash. The state of Michigan issued it a new vin and plate on the door jam. The vin comes back as an 81 Regal. I cannot verify if this car is a real 87 T-type/turbo car. There is no rpo sticker either. I called Michigan DMV and had them check the Vin, it came back with no issues. The car now has a clean NY title.
The cluster shows 33,xxx but im sure is actually 133k
The car has the 8.5" rear, 87 motor/BRF code 2004r, front/rear sway bars, ect.
Here is a brief list of whats done to the car AFAIK:
42lb injectors
Kenne Belle fuel press. regulator
Walboro 255 w/ hotwire kit
Plenum spacer
LS1 Maf & translator
Precision TE-52
Turbo XS BOV
TT chip
3" with side trap to dual hooker aero chambers
BRF code 2004r with red line bands and shift kit
ARP head studs and gaskets
Airbag shocks in the rear
Autometer cobalt gauges in a-pillar pod and ttop pod
Manual boost controller
K&N filter
The previous owner had the motor work done at Agressive Performance (http://www.aggressiveauto.com/)
The motor runs great and pulls hard at 16psi. The transmission shifts nice and stout with no issues.
The paint looks good but it somewhat of an amateur job. I believe the car was originally black with chrome bumpers. The body is in great shape and 99% rust free. There is one or two spots where there are small rust bubbles. The bottoms of the doors on the inside are just starting to show a small amount of surface rust. The frame is mint, the car does need a drivers floor pan or patch ( i will get a picture when i get the car on the lift), the rest of the floors are in great shape.
The car needs window to door seals, lower door seals and probably T-top seals. The Tops leak only under heavy rain in one spot on the passenger side. The t-top plates do have some rust, i have front replacement plates to go with it. The windows are slightly cocked and need to be adjusted to seal the upper seal correctly. I keep the car garaged at all times to keep it out of the weather.
Driver side view mirror is broken internally.
Differential has a slight whine, not horrible just thought i would note it.
Fuel gauge and indicator lights dont work on the cluster.
Im looking to get $7,500 as it sits. Located 30 minutes west of Albany, NY
I will get more pictures up soon.

If that spot wasnt there I think this would be gone
