Ok ,,, let me ask ,,, IF , IF , IF , IF I was to need someone to check the below GN out for me with the possibility I buy it unseen, don’t worry, no pressure, I wouldn’t hold you to anything, just a good eyeball of the car and seller for me…, it seems like a slam dunk good car, but just need to be sure… IF IF I do it… is anyone close so it isn't a big hassle...

car is in Port Orange, Fla.

Thanks in advance

I would suggest having the car inspected by a reputable dealer in the area. If you pay for the inspection you will get a written report of there findings. You can find one under the maker of the car on the internet.

I found his post, doesn't look like the same car, very close though, this one closer to Daytona Beach.

Ive had two! one GN and one TURBO T REGAL, that car looks great, but you realy need to see it in person to make an honest assesment, but from looking just at the pictures it does look like a winner!

That is a beautiful car. The price doesn't seem to unreasonable either.

Like some have said nothing like seeing it for yourself but looking at the pictures the guys yard is immaculate so he obviously takes pride in his stuff.

Check into cheap airfare flights; Florida is often a cheap destination and a rental won't cost you much either. Good luck

GN are great cars and they always require attention, if set up right will make great street cars.

I own a GN and yes they require lots of attention, Turbobuick and turbobuicks.com, are great web sites for information. For having 16k miles it has some rust on it, if I am seeing the pictures right. Oh yeah they do like to leak! Send me a pm if you want more help.
