Not sure if I really want to sell it, but here goes...
I have an 87 T with Astroroof that may be available. I don't know what it is worth right now in this market, but I may be up for a trade and cash if it is something cool.
I looked for a while for a GN and came across this one about 6 months ago. It was from Texas and the owner went to IL for two years and then brought it back. No real winters up there as it was in the garage as a spare car during that time. It wouldn't pass Texas state inspection once I bought it so I started digging into issues. One cylinder was only 80 lbs so the motor had to be rebuilt. Since I had it apart I did a few other things.. And so it started.
New interior, everything has been redone. I would suggest a new headliner as the PO cut it too far away from the astroroof to tighten it up. It is new tho, and so are the visors.
Paint is flawless except for one spider crack on the trunk lid. NO RUST.
This is a Cruise Control car with COLD AC (Texas, ya know
Motor has about 10 miles on it. Tranny has about 2K miles on it. It is a Non-Posi car but I have the Posi unit in a box waiting to be installed.
It has a full Alpine audio system with bluetooth, USB, iPod, etc, etc etc. It will even play audio through the bluetooth....Sub, Amp, new speakers, sub, Concert sound setup so new JBL's in the doors, etc, etc.
This car has been built right (I am a picky kinda guy) and it is kinda a killer to sell it, but things are what they are. This is not an abused car, or one that has had a buch of modifications done to it - one of the reasons I picked THIS car when I bought it. The ony changes from stock are listed above and the heads. I bought some mild heads, a Cam and new valve springs. Turbo was verified to be good with no movement - likely done recently according to my turbo guy.
I don't know what to ask to sell it, or even if it is worth it to me selling it. I have a small fortune in it, so I know I won't get all of my money back out.
So, give me your ideas, thoughts, or what have you... Pics should speak for themselves, but I can take more if anyone wants them.
What I would do on the car next is likely tires as they are older and the lower door gaskets as they are worn away. Window gaskets are all new.
I am putting tie-rod ends on this week once they come in (Moog) and will have it aligned after that.
It should also have the oil changed in 90 miles, since the motor is just now getting broken in.
This is a car that you don't have to spend any money on. Unless you are like me and just have that 'itch' to spend.....
Yes, I will buy another one, soon, if at all possible.

. Does this mean you aren't selling?
