Hey guys! Well Ive been debating it for a while and it looks like its time to move on. =( I think I will be putting my 1987 GN up for sale and I wanted to get everyone's advice on what they think its really worth. Below are the mods (that I remember) and what Ive done to the car. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!!

A few other goodies that I forgot

drive shaft loop
-Body

All gauges are Autometer except the WB Gauge
Hood Mounted Fuel PSI gauge
-Pros
Ive done everything to make this car a solid daily driver and a beast on the strip! Ive only put the best parts that I could find and spared little expenses. I planned on keeping this car in the family so when ever I bought or upgraded parts I always tried to get the best that money can buy. The bottom end is mostly stock and the heads have never been off! My wife even says that once you pull the heads off you break the "aura" and thats why the car hasnt broken down yet! lol. I was planning on eventually upgraded the camshaft and heads (was saving up to get aluminum champion heads) but with the FOURTH baby on the way, budget is WAYYY limited. So unfortunately I have to sell. I havent raced the car in about 2-3 years but Ive driven it every once in a while. Still runs and idles smooth!
-Cons
Body has some rust on it. Some areas are on the door near the bottom, the trunk lid and in the rear near the tires. Some spots have rusted through. The floor pan was once replaced too and Im assuming because the original rusted out. Its a T-Top and the seals are old so they leak. I had to replace the left T-Top glass so the plastic grey trim piece is missing. Other than that its not bad. I would say the body is a 6-7 just because the rust. Paint is okay but a paint job would make it look like a million bucks!
Honestly guys I dont want to give this car away but we do need the money and garage space! So if anyone is interested in buying it or if you think you can give me an honest quote of what it is worth or what it should sell for I would greatly appreciated it! Honestly I think the perfect match would be someone who knows body work since the drivetrain is SOLID! Thanks again guys!!!
