The details:
Yes, it is a real Grand National. Heavily optioned, Power driver's seat, power mirrors, power windows, power locks, tilt, rare Astro-Roof (power moonroof). Stock concert sound stereo with aftermarket CD changer (with remote). I am the second owner, I bought it from an older gentleman who bought it new. I have many documents from the purchase of this car, including a sale sheet which shows the price and delivery date. The car is very clean, but is a driver rather than a show car. Original paint shows wear from miles, and the paint wasnt perfect even out of the factory on these cars as we all know. It has 128k miles. Very reliable, no leaks, runs 100 percent. I have driven this car to Florida and back with no problems and gas mielage in the 20's. It is lightly and tastefully modded, the car should run a mid to high 12 second quarter mile, I have never been to the track with it so that is my guess. It is set up at about 21 lbs of boost right now (no knock), and can be turned up a little more if desired, or if you add a bigger turbo. It has an alcohol injection kit and runs on 93 octane pump gas. Boost can be dialed from 12 lbs to 21 lbs via an in-car boost controller.
This car also has an Alpine alarm with remote windows (windows also roll up on activation of alarm) and remote trunk. In addition it has a chip which must be inserted to activate the fuel pump (car will not run without this key).
I have TurboLink scan tool software and connecting cable which I will include with the car that allows you to scan and monitor many important engine parameters, which is necessary if you want to tune the car. Laptop also may be available, buyer can decide if they want to purchase laptop as well.

Mods as follows (all added in last two years, receipts available):
ATR Cold Air induction kit, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, Walbro 340 fuel pump w/hotwire kit, Terry Houston 3" Stainless Downpipe w/dump and high flow cat, ATR 2.5" stainless catback exhaust with stock exit pipes, Lucas 009 (42.5 lb/hr) injectors, custom chip by Turbotweak, Autometer phantom boost, oil and temp gauges (all in nice interior matching pods), AlkyControl Progressive Alcohol Injection Kit, BSTC in car electronic boost controller

I'm sorry if this was a lot to read but this really is a special car with a lot of unique features. If you have any questions please feel free to email me at Bengal8@aol.com. I can also discuss the car on the phone, please email me and we can exchange numbers. Car is currently registered, plated, and insured, and is located on Long Island, NY (Nassau).

Price is $11,000.

Ok will get some under shots as soon as the snow clears and I can get the car outside. Yes, I believe the car will make it to Cali, I drove nonstop from Tampa, Florida to NY with no problems. No salvage or accidents, i am the 2nd owner, there is one minor scuff from a parking lot. i have the clear title in hand.

Thank you very much for pointing that out. That connector must have wiggled loose somehow. I thought something felt a bit off when I moved it from my parent's house to my house this weekend, but I just shrugged it off as not having driven the car for a while and I don't remember how its supposed to feel. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the lock-up. Either way thank you, I've plugged it back in, taken it for a long cruise and everything is great.
 
Also I will include the stock airbox assembly, stock injectors, stock chip, car cover, and any other stock parts that I have that I cannot think of right now.
