I have a 1969 Chevelle that I am building as a drag car, it is a beautiful restoration on a completely rust free arizona car, The Chevelle will be a stock suspension based small tire (MT 28x10.5W) stock wheel houses, powered by a about 800 hp BBC. The car is going for cage work this winter and may run next year.
That being said I want a car that is fun to drive, not a super fast car, but I am not looking for a muscle car, the GN has always interested me but I am mainly worried I am going to spend 10-15k on a car that will need alot of work to stay running right, or lose a motor or trans and I will have another project car.
I found a 1987 GN in my area that can be had for 10k, it looks nice in pics, appears rust free, and was not driven in the rain or winter. it has 91000 miles on it and is mostly stock except for a manual boost controller which I am not sure what it does or why it would be on there without other supporting mods.
The interior looks nice, and is unmolested, it has the better stereo, std non digital dash and t tops
Is there is GN buying checklist lol? I am very mechanically inclined, but know nothing of the turbo 6 world.
Does the car sound like a good deal? and what should I inspect wen I see this car in person.
Is a high mileage GN still a good investment?
