I've decided to sell my car and get out of Buicks for a while. This is my 4th Buick in 10 years and I had a blast with all of them.

This car has 120k miles on it with a 6 year old paint job that still looks great. The interior has all been gone thru with new headliner, new GN seats and carpet and original "T" door panels. The car currently rides on a nice set of "T" wheels with brand new BFG 235/60R15 Radial T/A's in the front and brand new BFG 255/60R15 Radial T/A's in the back. These tires have approximately 500 miles on them. The car also comes with a pair of American Racing 15x8.5 Vectors with 275/60R15 BFG Drag Radials that only have 6 passes on them. I had the engine that was in the car rebuilt and only had approximately 500 miles and 6 passes before it hurt a main bearing. That engine and transmission are being replaced with a BRAND NEW General Motors NOS ShortBlock and a new full billet transmission from CK Performance.

The car looks just as good in person as it does in these pictures. There is a very small amount of rust in the usual places which I will get pictures of.


List of Mods
  • Brand new GM shortblock with Duttweiler ported irons - Being installed by GN Northwest
  • TE63 Turbo - Fresh rebuild from Limit Engineering
  • TA Performance Jet Hot coated Stainless Steel Headers - These are their performance headers and not the stock replacement ones.
  • 3" Stainless Steel Terry Houston Downpipe with Dump
  • 2.5" Dual ATR Stainless Steel Pitbull Exhaust System with SS Pitbull Mufflers
  • 60lb Motron injectors with matching TT Chip
  • 3.5" LS1 MAF sensor with Translator
  • 62mm Jay Jackson TB and Doghouse
  • Razor Progressive Alky System with single nozzle
  • Your choice of intercooler - CAS V2 FMIC or Precision Stretched SLIC
  • Brand new Full Billet Pro Street/Strip 2004R transmission with transbrake from CK Performance
  • Brand New Billet 9.5" 3200 stall NL Pro Torque Converter
  • Stock G80 rear axle with Moser Axles and long 1/2" studs
  • TA Performance Diff Cover
  • Hotchis rear Lower Control Arms
  • ATR rear Sway Bar
  • Hotchis Lowering Springs
  • Hydraboost brake conversion
  • ScanMaster 2.1 with Power Logger data logging

Theres probably a lot more I'm forgetting but overall, this is a great looking, well built car that will be fast and dependable with all the right parts for a lot less than it would cost to duplicate. More pictures will be posted soon.

The car is currently just north of Seattle, WA but can be shipped anywhere at the buyers expense.

$12,900 obo

Thanks, Bill

More mods (that I forgot) have been added to the original post....

Thanks, Bill
 
When the new transplant getting installed?
Any interior pics?

The car is at GN Northwest right now getting the work done. I will get over there this week to get some interior pics as well as some pics of the brand new engine.

Thanks, Bill
 
I hate to see it go. This car has the best parts money can buy. Who ever buys this car will be getting a hell of a deal at that price. I have seen this car inside and out. I would have thoughtPicture 440.jpg 18k would be the right price but like i said thats a deal. Bump for a great guy.i have my car sold but i want take the guys money until i find what i want , but i think i found it . 45k miles 2 owners here it is.
 
Nice ride BillsGN, love them charcoal T's!

Bigjack- you better jump on that light silver T. Looks nice too! minus them iroc rims

what? You dont like the iroc wheels . Maybe ill put some gn wheels on it. Do you think its worth 14,500k new engine , je piston. Billet main . Champion irons. Champion intake, 6776bb, pte front mount, etc
 
Don't want to hijack Bill's posting. Sounds pretty good though Jack as long as the body doesnt need work. Check those floor boards out with it being a t-top car. Car needs some wheels with some black in them to compliment the WO2 pkg.
 
Bump for bill. Guys this is a nice solid car. Its very tight . You can search his old post and see were he bought a brand new in the crate gm turbo 3.8 engine and k.d heads and at that price you would be getting one hell of a good deal. Good luck bill. If you were closer i would buy it. Are you coming back to sc?
 
Thanks for the bump....lots of interest in the car. Definitely a screaming deal as I have close to double what I'm asking for it.

Bill
 
All pm's have been answered....

I was hoping to get over to GN Northwest to take more pictures but we got a bunch of snow last night so I wont be able to make it over there today. Hopefully the roads will clear up enough to get there tomorrow.

Thanks, Bill
 
Hows this for a deal....

Ive been thinking about the combo and quite frankly, I would not run the TE63 turbo if I were keeping the car so here's the deal. Buyer gets to pick the turbo. Any turbo from the vendors here up to $1000.

Personally, I would pick a billet wheel 6262.

Thanks, Bill
 
GN Northwest is going to have the engine together and in the car soon so my offer to let the buyer select the turbo is going to expire soon as we will need to install a turbo to fire it off and break in the engine.

I had hoped to get over there this past weekend to get more pics but due to weather, I was not able to. I will get over there in the next day or two and get the additional pics that have been requested.

Thanks, Bill
 
Weather here finally cleared up so here's a few more pictures as promised.

Paint is a 9 of 10
Interior is a 9.5 of 10
All weather seals are like new so 10 0f 10
Engine and trans - brand new so 10 of 10

The car looks just as good, if not better than the pictures and will run even better.

If you have any questions, please ask. I would like to have the car sold before the end of the year.

Thanks, Bill
