From California central coast

I finally found the Grand National I've been searching for.
I have loved them since they came out in '86. At that time I couldn't afford to own one of my own.

After a year of searching, I found this very nice low mileage GN of my own. It has <42,000 original miles.
I was skeptical at first because I have herd that over and over only to find out it was 142,000 miles.
This one is completely stock and in excellent condition, the interior is as close to perfect as I could have ever hoped for.
There were some people (my wife included) that said I would never find one like this in my price range (I just took that as a challenge). The owner had a bunch of documentation that allowed me to trace its life.
I have been scouring this site and collecting tons of great information so far.
My plans for the car are to install a cat back exhaust, install my ATR "Ramblo" kit, find an ATR intercooler fan shroud kit, get the valve cover vent kit, new heavy duty intercooler hoses, and add boost, oil press. and temp. gauges.
Other that that, I just want to keep it stock and enjoy it.

Nice!
Looks clean. It's getting harder to find one like that.
Congrats and welcome to the site. Let us know if you have any questions.

Happy spooling.

Thanks guys, I feel very lucky to have a classic like this in this good of shape. I did find that the exhaust looks like swiss chees in places, and the intercooler is saturated with oil. So far I have a Pypes exhaust system and intercooler hoses comming from Kirbans, and will install a valve cover vent kit too. I'm going to enjoy the hell out of it!
