My T Type (BTW- The T Type is actually more rare then the GN and I find it hysterical when people say "Why didn't you get a GN they're so much faster.?" I just know at that point this person has no clue about Turbo Buicks) is put together basically with Jack Cotton's blue print and I've gotten offers I've literally found insulting. I wish people would read about the Turbo Buick realie that the 86/87 are the most sought after with the most rare Turbo being the 86 due to the lowest numbers made besides the 87 GNX which on 547 lucky people got to have. I guess my post is just that people don't seem to know what these Buick's are really worth. Also once a person buys one you either love it or hate it. They are by far the most tempermental cars I've ever worked with & if you don't have the tune right and watch that scan master like a HAWK then expect to pay for several blown head gaskets.
I wrote this in another thread but thought it also applied to my thread. Please just look up how much these cars are going for and then add in the MODS that are done to this car and think about how low of a price I'm really asking.... Just food for thought. Maybe it's because I've lived and breathed Turbo Buicks and have also owned 3 LS1's previously and know that a REALLY nice low mileage LS1 for this WH1 T Type is BARELY a fair trade for me. I'm just done building her up to put her in storage. I know she's going to just grow and grow in value but life is short and I want to be able to drive the car and not care too much if I nick the chrome on the bumper.
Sorry for the rant.

One more bump before I make up my mind. Lots of offers, alot are insane and some negotiable. This might be someone's last chance to grab a piece of history which is only gaining value.
