As good as I've seen and I've seen a lot. This is one ranks up near the top. Planned on keeping this one for many years but a unique opportunity has arisen, so it's gotta go!

Details:

1987 Buick Grand National time capsule with 3504 original miles. Car is 100% stock down to the original exhaust and Goodyear Eagle GT tires. They are not dry rotted and cracked but they are over 30 years old and original with the correct gray valve stem caps. The rims are like new with no chrome pitting or paint peeling. The bumper fillers are soft and not brittle at all. They shine up very nicely as you can see. They will "chalk up" and fade after time. I contemplated pulling them off and repainting them, but decide against that to maintain it's originality. This is a very common issue with these cars, but the good news is that they are in such good shape, they will not break when removing them should you choose to do that. Car has one of the nicest stock paint jobs I've ever seen. The shine is a mile deep and free from any cracking or orange peel. Mechanically the car is excellent. The motor is strong and smooth. The transmission shifts firm and crip.. It has the original all black powermaster accumulator ball that I would swap for a newer one if you are going to drive this regularly.. Buick recalled them when new but this one was never done. Another testament to it's originality. The interior is also like new. The only area that requires attention is a sagging headliner. They are not expensive or hard to do but will leave that up to the new owner. Car has many of the typical options but relatively a low option car. Hard top with power windows, door locks and posi rear end. Own the fastest car of the 80s for less than the price of a new Honda. Ready for a new owner. $43,500. Not interested in trades. More photos and video available. Any questions just ask.

I've never seen the car but I can tell you Joe knows his Turbo Buicks. His ex-White Limited was pretty sweet. GLWS Joe.
