Ok so I just bought this 87 GN with 87,000 miles off craigslist for 13,000 from a guy in detroit and drove it 400 miles to my home. The guy I bought it from new nothing about the car, he told me he bought it from a guy that got it from his brother after he died. So I know only what Ive spotted so far. Only things bad with the car is the driver floor pan has rust, missing fender and grille emblem. It needs tuned bad its running only six pounds of boost and the ignition is bad on the steering column it just broke today. it also came without a radio and no front sway bar.

I like the blacked out tail lights! :)
 
nice buy, looks clean..

Thanks, it took me a month to get this car because the old owner was very hard to get ahold of and if you did get ahold of him, you'd be lucky if you can get ahold of him again. He even bailed out a few times after we arranged a day to look at the car, not to mention he spoke very little english but he was a cool guy though im sure he just didnt want to sell it. I know my dad wont even sell me his.
 
Does it have aluminum heads or am I just seeing things? Also pull the oil filler and check for roller rockers. Looks like you got a lot of car for your money.

No I picked it up from Detroit, I did find it on Craigslist though. Man I was searching auto trader, craigslist, ebay, buick sites,
racing junk.com and some other various sites and every time i called about one I liked it would be snatched up, these things dnt last long at all when on the market. Ive been asked numerous times at gas stations if I wanna sell my car and Im like no and there like name your price money is no object and I start laughing and walk away.
