Girl needs help here!!!

[5150turbo]

Hey fellows,

I'm in Desperate need of help, my ex passed away a few months ago, I have a 6yr old boy, who only remembers his dad because of how devoted he was to his car....
I'm trying to find a gn for sale, I can't afford much, he's only 6 so there's a lot of time for building it. the way he wants it. But I need to know what I'm looking for, I have the basics down, 86, 87 V6, the question is how do I know it's not a buddy car and it's actually the real deal?

If ya give me some pointers that would be very helpful.

Thanx!

gnttype.org has a section that will tell how to shop for the best deals, and what to look for.

Don't buy a beater for 8k spend the money and get a good one for 15k or more. It's expensive enough to build one of these cars don't throw your money at a restoration project.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I would start with getting him some models to put together. and see how much he likes them.You can get models of these cars.You can even get dicast cars.He would have a blast with them.The real cars can break you . I am doing a frame off restoration on an 87 limited and i will have over $30,000 in mine and i am doing most of the labor myself. you can just buy a regular regal if you want and save a ton of money. best of wishes to you and your son.

What car was your husband devoted to? If you can't afford to buy a car just to let it sit for 10 years (which is a long time!) then take that money and invest it. He'll need it when he's ready to drive. For now, buy him a model to put together. There are some simple ones for beginers. Take him to car shows and cruises. He may well find a diffferent car that he likes not care for the GN at all.
