1987 GN, tubo T, T type - custom TR

1987 GN, tubo T, T type...what ever you would like to call it...

I've come to the realization that I do not have the time to enjoy this car how I would like or how it deservesand I'm tired of just seeing it sitting around.... so, I am regretfully putting it up for sale.

The car is a great street strip car, A/C and all power works, car runs cool in traffic.
It has only been to the track on three occasions (all 1/8th mile), all tuning sessions. All runs were done without any boost at launch (left from an idle) and the best run was an 8.0 @ 98mph w/ a 2.2 60ft on street tires & pump gas w/ alcohol...this was also done prior to the ME mafless setup and the new turbo (had a regular ME w009 inj & and older PTE 60 turbo). The first time I tried to launch with boost, it snapped the stock axles (hence the Mark Willams rebuild) and I haven't had it back to the track since.
car should be a mid/high 6 or better when launched properly...

This car is an extremely clean and well detailed TR but it has alot of modifications (paint, body, interior, engine).
It started out as a WE4 but every facet of the car has been modified to be better IMO...basically, it looks like a dark Grey 87 GN and always commands alot of attention when I have it out (at GS Nats, it was very well recieved)

If you're looking for an original, this isn't the one.
If you want to BE original and not blend in with the crowd, read on.

-NO leak OEM T-top car (new seals and meticulous adjustment)
-Excellent Dark grey Mettallic paint (beautiful & very shiny) no rust.
-Custom graphite leather interior (F-body seats) all interior is color & pattern matched
-ALL new GM weather strips
-front & rear OEM spoiler
-New heater core & heat exchanger
-140mph Speedo
-Westach boost & EGT gauge
-Turbo link w/micro computer
-all new body mounts
-all new suspension bushings & bearings
-boxed rear control arms
-ATR sway bar
-Eibach springs (lowered appx 1.5")
-KYB shocks on all corners
-New tires and rims (275/60 15 rear)
-S&W custom bent/fit roll bar w/dual swingouts
etc, etc...


Stock shortblock (installed and runs good)
Engine in car: stock heads, JJ throttle body & upper plenum, 50lb injectors, quadair sp+ fuel pump, adj reg, TH down pipe, dual 2 1/2 exhaust w/dump, new Limit engineering GT63stg3 turbo, dual adjustable quick spool WG, ATR front mount IC, SMC alcohol/meth injection w/underhood fuel cell, 4" MAF pipe, MaxEffort Mafless w/modified ECM, SP filter etc etc....

Rear end was rebuilt w/ Mark Williams axles & c-clip eliminators (no leaks)

Trans: Bowler perf trans built w/PTS internals

etc, etc....

AND (if wanted/the price is right)
a fresh built shortblock with beefed internals (forged pistons, steele caps, 206/206 cam etc...)
an extra set of big valve very nicely ported irons
and a slew of extra parts.

I really don't know what it is worth & I don't have to sell it... I just want someone who can make better use of it to buy it/enjoy it.

I'm thinking $15000.00,
that will include everything I have for the car (extra beefed short block, big valve ported heads, other stock parts etc...) OBO with extra parts
$ 12,000car only.
we'll see what happens...

E-mail or call for more info.
217 306 2906, leave a message if I don't answer.
I cannot check my e-mail on weekends either...

Thanks for looking

Nice car. I like the custom interior on page 2 at the bottom (the door panels are a little over the top for me though). The Elco looks great too, Z06 wheels?
