Your opinion please.

[T What?]

Should i keep my car and cherry it out or sell it and take on a GN project. My car has mint interior, the upgrades in my sig. It needs a paint job but the body is rust free except a little under the T tops. The motor periodically smokes, that is gonna get pulled and freshened up when i get back if i keep the car. It ran 8.70 in the 1/8th, which i think is pretty decent considering its nearly bone stock. I love this car, but when i get it painted i want to black it out so i know thats gonna cost me some cash.
My buddy that im deployed with has an 87GN sitting in his shed with a hard motor knock. The interior is in really good shape and the body seems good too but it also is gonna need a paint job. The car will need a rebuild or I'll just buy another motor for it. He will sell me the car for 3K which I know is a good deal. Im in no position to have both.
Im gonna get the GN for sure even if i just flip it for some cash. I have about 7k into my T already. So do I try to sell my car that needs paint for 7 grand to get out of it and start over with this GN? Or do i just flip the GN for a quick proffit and take the money from that and invest it into my T? Either way im gonna keep 1 of these cars for good. I dont have much preference either way as far as the Turbo T or the GN goes. I love them both and a Blacked out T looks just as good to me as a GN. My T has the Chrome headlight bezels and grill. I like that look but the bumpers gotta go.
What do you think the smartest move in this situation will be? I have 5grand put away just for my car when i get back. So i have a little room to work with. This is a big descision for me, because honestly i want both of them. But if i do that i will have 2 cars that need work and it will take a long time to get both done. Im all ears, and cant wait to hear your opinion on the matter.

I say go with the GN ALL THE WAY!

If you want a GN just to have one then do it. It's the reason I did not not opt for a Turbo T. If it doesn't matter the flip the GN and drop the $$$ in your Turbo T. Either way buy it and decide which is worth your while.

I say keep your T and fix it. Why spend the extra $$$ on the GN and then have to fix it too. Put the $$ in the T instead. Just my .02

I used to have a silver 87T. Since they are rarer than the GN, I say keep the T and get it right.

You have a running functioning car right now that you can drive and the opportunity to buy one that doesn't. The T is in fairly decent shape but has some issues you'd like to fix and the GN has, at the very least, a motor that will cost you 5K if you do it right. You have 7K in the current car but the GN needs to have basically the same thing done to it as your car, plus the engine.

Keep the T and fix it up. The money just isn't there right now with everything going on like it is.

Any pics of the T?

I think I'd go with a T over a GN.. Seems like everyone has a black car around here

I'd say keep the T and sell the GN when you get it. The GN will usually bring more than a T all things equal plus in todays economy you probably would get as much out of your T as you have in it.

Too bad you're not closer I'd like your chrome grille and such if it's in good shape. They do make a turbo Regal look sleeper.
