86 Grand National mint condition low mileage

For sale is a mint condition 1986 Grand National. This GN has been owned and loved it's whole life (it shows) The car has a 3 year old paint job and has been done right. It runs. drives and shifts without issues and could be washed and used as a "show car" right now. You will be hard pressed to find a better example for this price.

Everyone has a different opinion of what is "mint" I will try to describe the car best I know.

Powertrain: Engine is stock 3. 8 liter turbo. upgrades are prom. nbsp;Ram air cleaner. fuel regulator. MAP sensor. nbsp;headers and high flow exhaust. The car runs perfect with no issues. Idles nice. runs smooth and no known issues. Transmission is stock 2004R runs without issue. Rear axle is a Limited Slip G80 option 3. 42 ratio (only about 50% of all GN's had limited slip G80).

Exterior : All Grand Nationals came with Lacquer paint all have checked or cracked over time if exposed to direct sun for very long. This car had that problem so it was repainted 3 years ago. This car has been disassembled. striped and repainted in DuPont 2 stage basecoat/clearcoat. To give you an idea of the quality of the paint refinish. it was applied as follows :

1. Disassemble entire car. remove windows. moldings. emblems. weather strip. mirrors. and bumpers.

2. Hand sand old paint down to bare metal.

3.  Apply sealer and hand wet sand.

4. Apply color primer and hand wet sand.

5. Apply base color and hand wet sand.

6. Apply clear coat 3 times hand wet sand.

7. Reassemble all trim. bumpers. emblems. windows. weatherstrip. mirrors etc.

8. One final wet sand and final buff and detail

took over 6 months and 150 man hours of paint and prep. ZERO rust all original sheetmetal.

New emblems. new window sweeps. new window moldings. new bumper moldings. new grill insert. new bumper inserts front and back. All original GM parts.

Interior : Stock with no issues. carpet and seats perfect no rips. dash pad has no cracks. headliner is perfect. all electrical works. wipers. headlights. and turnsignals. I added a boost gauge on the pillar molding. A/C works perfect and has a new compressor and dryer.

Trunk : stock with spare and jack (looks as if it was never used). I took the carpet out for pictures but it is there. (no RUST ever)

Misc : Has new GNX style 16" rims with Bridgestone Potenza 245/50R16 tires. Added a remote alarm system and remote start. Has new battery. new alternator. I have the original books and factory manuals that go with the car.

In closing : I would not be afraid to drive this anywhere in the USA but please realize it is almost 30 years old and most items are still original. so time alone can cause issues. I feel this car has been driven just enough to keep current but low enough to still feel as if it is "near new" condition.

Feel free to ask any questions or request any pictures via email. I ask for a $500 deposit within 48 hours or auctions end and full payment with in 5 business days of auctions end. Shipping is to be paid by winning bidder. Thank you for looking and if in Houston feel free to set up a time to see the car.
