Friend wants TR in Chicago area: Whatcha got?

[turbocliff]

A good bud of mine who has been getting whooped by my turbo regals for the past few years would like to join the dark side...

A deal fell through on an 87 GN that he was going to buy, and now he has the itch, and is looking for an 86-87 turbo buick. Doesn't matter if its a GN or Ttype, and he really wouldn't mind if it's a regal, so long as it has an 86-87 GN drivetrain...

We are from the Chicago burbs, but would be willing to travel a couple hours to look at the right car.

He's looking to spend around $5000, so let's see what you guys have got.

Partially finished projects also welcome-

Thanks for your help!

Here is an old link to my 83T w/87 driveline. It's still for sale and I need to move it.

87 TR for sale

Saw your message about your buddy wanting a TR. I am in Clinton, MI about 4 hours east of you, (right off of US-12 which goes all the way to Chicago I believe..) I'm in the middle of a "semi-restoration". I'm re-doing all the seats with the correct gray interior, new carpet, and a headliner. The car has 137K miles and is faded but has virtually no rust, (rarity for around these parts). It was originally a California car. The engine needs a new turbo, (smokes), but runs great as well as a good-shifting trans. It has a Hooker cat-back exhaust, fuel pump hot wiring, a few different chips, adj. regulator, and I'm sure a few more things I forgot about. It ran a best ET of 12.59 (with slicks) a few years back with not really a whole lot of work. I want $5000 for it otherwise I'll keep it and finish it myself. Good luck in your search!
