Trade 10.0/137 87 T for your clean 87 GN or T

[nastyhabit]

Looking to maybe TRADE before going the sale route.
Want to see who may have an "extra" GN or T they can let go
Somebody surely may tempted by having a track ready 10 sec beauty for 2009. I'll trade you now or at Bowling Green.
Please no low ball offers - PLEASE don't waste my time.
Will entertain offers over $20k to put it in good hands.

This is the car for someone who want to hit the track, as I thought I would but just never seem to get the openings with my crazy work and family schedule. I had some fun with it in '07 but all too often my job kept me away from the track. The car went unregistered and needed emmisions testing last summer. Car maybe went out 10 times in 2008. Car was recently registered again and I'm dealing with the emissions.

My dad ordered this T in spring 87 and I drove him to pick it up when it came in to the dealer. He and I rode up to BG Buick Nats two years in late 80's. He ran a best of 12.8 with few common bolt ons and sticky tires up through early 90s at Gulfport Dragway in MS - maybe one of you met him back then. I tried getting it off him for years and then out of the blue he gave it to me in 2006!

I got the car mostly stock in 2006 and went a bit crazy. this car MAY have to go (not "has to") due to my job being eliminated earlier this week. I will say there's all the best parts and the "go fast" work was ALL done by Cottons Performance. The "be safe" work - roll cage is a work of art by Jamie @ Miller Race Cars in Wallingford, CT who specialize in Outlaw 10.5 cars. The "look good" interior work was done by top local upolsterer, Powder coating by Airborne Coatings.

updates

after viewing that engine pick - it does not show the final wastegate/downpipe combo. The breathers are now differnt too.

I need a current pic - that one is from first time I brought it home. We made changes shortly thereafter.

A nice car for sure and a rare color. Is that a 109 block? (not listed) More than what I want but well done. Good Luck on your sale/trade etc. Gene

Beautiful car. Prepare yourself for "sellers remorse" if it goes.

nice ride.good luck with the sale

 

[TRDirks]

Very nice!

Do you have any pictures after powdercoating was done? Pics of underside?

Have you ever weighed it?

Thanks,

Beautiful car. Prepare yourself for "sellers remorse" if it goes.

I'm not sure if I'm ready to experience that on this car. I've been down this road with other cars I've sunk too much $ into. Two cars the remorse was short lived, once it even worked out where I had no remorse because the car went for more than I wanted to someone who knew what had gone into it, understood the level of build and wanted it more than me. He sold it 4 months later.

I took it out last night and just wish it were more family friendly. If that was the case I'd dump my truck and put different tires on this and use it as my DD for next 6 months till I get back on my feet.

I'll take updated interior pics today. Only underside pic I have is with HR bar so I'll need to get under there. There is no rust under this car at all. The ONLY spot is on the inner lowere trunk lip where the seals in the middle over license plate area. one inch. If I remember I'll snap a pic. You have to lift the seals to see it.

Car was scaled and rear squared at Miller. Weight was 3178.

Beautiful car for sure! Kind of a happy/sad story about your dad though. This seems like a pretty special car. I don't think I would be able to sell if it were me. Best of luck on the sale!

 

[nastyhabit]

TTT

It's been a week and no serious trades offered, so.....

maybe it should just be sold.

I'd let it go for $22,000 with ALL original parts that were removed.

I have complete history on this car from purchase to present.

Took more pics - will post asap

 

[mjdwyer23]

I believe I saw this car at Cotton's in 07, it was GORGEOUS! Good luck!

 

[nastyhabit]

Thanks for adding the pic!

And thanks for the rush of PMs today with trade offers - you've given me much to chew on tonight.

 

[nastyhabit]

Any interest?

Bump back into the action. Car has been out only a few times this year.... victim of the economy.....

Serious buyers only please
Save time and money by grabbing this and avoiding waits on your own.

$23,000 takes it

 

[Spooled231]

What backspacing are the rear wheels?

Thanks
