Is this normal?

My goal was to purchase a stock car especially since I don’t know much about turbo Buick’s aside from I’ve wanted one since I was a little kid. About 8 years ago I had an 85 GN that I bought from Kevin. It had a motor from an 87 in there but that was short lived. The guys who painted the car for me after I bought it did a terrible job and I sold it a month later.

This car is far from stock. The seller was upfront with me about a number of things and wasn’t aware of the leak so hoping it’s nothing major. I’ll keep you all posted and expect a lot of questions coming from me in the near future.

Yes these cars leak. I have a pan under mine on the garage floor. I just accept a little leak, Welcome to the Dark Side. These cars can be about the most frustrating money pits you can drive, but sure are fun. Good luck. Read, learn and proceed cautiously. What mods does the car already have?

The car that I purchased is listed in the market place as “ S Florida high 10 low 11 sec GN”

Below is his listing.
Hi all,
Unfortunately, due to life changes, I am looking to sell my 87 Grand National. I have had it for about 24 years and it has about 85,000 miles on it but probably less than 2000 miles on the motor and most additions. Dave at J&J Upholstery in Lake Worth, FL maintains this car and has done most of the work on it. He can be contacted at his shop at (561) 547-0460 in Lake Worth for detailed information. I am currently living across the state in Fort Myers but Dave has access to the car which is in A/C storage near his shop, The car is very driveable and has only been on the track one time about 2 years ago. The burnout pic is from that night at PBI. In a fairly conservative street tune, on a hot July night at only 24 lbs boost and street pressure in the M/T Drag Radials it went 11.54 at 120 with a 1.8 60 ft. This is a high 10 sec car with just some moderate tuning. Put a 6262 on it and hold on. Talk to Dave but PLEASE DO NOT bother him with questions unless you are seriously interested. If you have questions that he can't answer, please contact me. I am looking to get $24000 but will consider offers if REASONABLE.
TA53, 85lbs,dual nozzle alky, 210 210 Billet roller, GN1's bulletproof tranny, Metcco adj upper and lower rear control arms, H&R rear bar, F body radiator, dual fans, roller rockers, bigger throttle body, Powerlogger, Wide band O2 sensor with Turbo Tweak Powerlogger chip, Scanmaster, new headliner, lightened front and rear bumper supports, rear seat X brace, larger rear speakers, Pioneer stereo, Viper alarm system, 10" rear drag stars with 295x15 M/T Street Drag radials. 7" front wheels, new brakes, S10 rear wheel cylinders, are just a small list of goodies. Dave knows the rest. Thanks - Terry tlturbo@aol.comView attachment 332037View attachment 332038View attachment 332039View attachment 332040View attachment 332041View attachment 332042
