I need to get rid of one of my cars, and I am selling my GN. The car is a beautiful 1987 hardtop GN with 116K miles. It was repainted about 8 years ago and the pictures don’t do it justice. This was a South Carolina car that my dad has had since the late 90’s and I got it from him. Its in excellent shape and you would never guess how many miles are on it. It idles smooth and drives very tight with no rattles. Its mainly stock with a few bolt-ons and the trans was rebuilt by one of the best. I love this car and waited a long time to get it from my dad, but being a new father I need to trim down my arsenal. Since I don’t race this car and don’t have time for cruise nights and shows, the GN is the one to go (although I did get one car show trophy).
Besides looking and driving good, its also one of the fastest stock turbo GNs out there. Its got some of the best bolt-on upgrades you can buy and the results speak for themselves. This is a really nice car that will make someone very happy.
I am asking $13,900

-tinted windows, 27% transmission
-The car went 11.98@108.09 mph with a 1.58 60ft on the stock turbo last year. I only raced it three times ever. The first time was in 2000 when it was nearly stock except for the 36lb injectors and a solid MAF pipe with a K&N. It went 13.9@94mph on street tires and 93 pump gas. I then raced it twice last year in April. It went 12.3-12.4@106-107mph the first time and 11.9-12.0@108-110mph the second time after putting in the mini starter, f body radiator, removing the spare and upping the boost from 20 to 22lbs. Last years runs were on pump gas and alky with the converter unlocked. Besides that I have not raced this car and almost never gone WOT while driving. Mainly have just taken it to some cruise nights and go for a spin once in a while. My other cars are for racing.
-One thing to note is that its a relatively low optioned car with manual windows and locks. I'll try to post up a trunk label picture in the next day or so.
-Besides pictures, I provided links to 3 videos I shot the other day. I just wanted to give an idea of how smooth the car idles and what the ATR exhaust sounds like at idle. From a short distance, the car is quiet. Its easy to make loud with the electric cutout though.
