1987 Grand National T-tops W/ Digital Dash

Mechanical:
This car has a rebuilt motor .30 over block new pistons new timing set, all new gaskets new water pump new front cover and HV oil pump. I have receipts for everything. Heads were re-done with minor port / bowl work, new valve springs new cam/lifter kit from comp.

Fuel:
37# injectors and Billet adjustable Accufab fuel pressure regulator to support the new motor i bought a new hotwire kit and Walbro pump and ac filter were installed. I also decided on a Casper's volt booster.

Intake:
Touched up the intake and dog house / ported TB - RJC powerplate with a 3 inch cold air kit. K&N filter. LT1 MAF & Translator.

Exhaust:
Header's were welded so no crack on the headeers. We added a THDP 3 inch downpipe with a 21/2 dual exhaust to the back. JET turbine whistle is ridiculous with the ta49 !!

Cooling :
he cooling in Miami's heat is extremely important! The sun wreaks Havoc on bad cooling setups. So to tackle it i installed a 160 degree thermostat. New fbody Radiator with dual electric fans and thermoswitch. Currently running purified water.
AC is absolutely new bought the lines on here, had to buy a new Ac compressor, new drier, new expansion valve. To complete the job properly we cleaned, flushed and vacuumed the complete Ac system.

Transmission:
Stock rebuild has firm and positive shifts. Converter is a red stripe, stall speed seems to be right around 2600. TA49 spools instantly. Stock 8.5 Rear with new fluid looks great.

Brakes/Suspension,
8.5 Rear stock with 3.42 gears new fluid installed. Posi !
New Disc up front with new bearings new bushings nice and tight.

Body:
Paint is nice and straight i would easily rate it 7 out of 10 small scratches very small door ding barely noticeable. Doors look good underneath and per pics you can see no holes on the floor!

This combo is a quick-spooling, put you in your seat combo. My goals for the car with these modifications was to have a quick, reliable and streetable package that I could jump in and take on a 500 mile road trip with no worries!! The drive train is in great condition with under 1,500 miles on engine. She runs, shifts and drives great!

Interior:
Clean no rips, Scanmaster, boost and water temp console gauges, the interior is as it left GM in 1987. It is in exceptional condition given its age and the seats and door panels show very little wear. The factory original carpet is clean. Given these issues, I would critically rate the interior an 8/9 out of 10.

Wheels/Tires/Suspension:
Grand National Rims with Mickey Thompson Drag Radials,

Summary/Price:
Overall, this is a very, very nice car I would not consider this a quality trailer queen, but a decent turbo regal that runs and drives beautifully. I have enjoyed this car a great deal since I have owned it. I no longer have the time or interest in this car I once had. Although I am looking to sell the car, I am NOT faced with a "must sell" situation. General inquiries may text or call - 786-487-9775

Price is set @ 11k obo

I may be open to trades but i really prefer cash,

The bad: Rebuilt title , History shows it was branded in 1994 no type of case information i have exhausted my search on any info on why it was branded. I checked chassis everything looks straight. To me, possibly stolen recovery or who knows?
Please no negative comments - Pics/vids speak for themselves.
