There have been some bad *ss Fiero's at the GM Nats in Carlisle years past, have a friend who put a huge big block up front with a blower but the damn thing almost killed him.

The New owner will have to put another $2K in it is he wants to drive it and not be embarrassed by the soon to be crumbling rear bumper Filler. The fuel pump won't let him out of the 14's so he can forget about sticky tires and a chip for a while.
$35K for a T-top car is high. The two lower mile Hardtops later this week are worth more to someone who understands GN's.
I sold my Every Option '86 GN with 25K miles for $22K a fews years back and '86's were THE ORIGINAL intercooled GN, not the ME TOO!! '87's. I doubled my money and figured it wouldn't be long before they would double again.
Given the choice between owning a perfect low mile one you can't touch and a higher mile one you can, its a no brainer and why I sold the T-Top GN but will never sell my hardtop '86 T-type.
Lot 347 1987 Regal Limited T-type with 33,000 miles went for $22,000 with auctioneer's fee - $20,000 at hammer time. Only modification is a "performance chip."
You snooze, you lose.

Help me out, guys. I almost bid on that lot 407 '87 GN. Ignoring the risk factor of never having seen the car, what should the car have been worth?
Realistically, they made 20,000 '87 GN's which isn't "rare" by any stretch of the imagination. A huge percentage of '87's were bought by "collectors" who stored them and never drove them. The "no mile cars" suppressed the price of the Low mile cars for 20+ years.
My car was an '86 so it had electronic climate control, concert sound II and had a dealer stick of over $21.5K new in '86. It also had new painted bumper fillers (the originals CANNOT last 30 years), a new Fuel Pump (the originals cannot last 15 Years) and high pressure fuel lines (ditto) and other updates (2.5" dual Ultraflow exhaust, stainless downpipe/ported elbow, highflow cat/test pipe... basically a mid/low 12 second sleeper setup with tires a chip and race gas). I paid $12K for a 24K mile car in 2005 put on a set of 7K mile eagle GT takeoffs and sold it 2 years ago for $22K. Add $5K for Good Guys hype and its $27K, Max, unless multiple drunk bidders and B-J hype is involved.
If you bought 407 you are going to need a driver set of wheels/tires ($1500), and maybe a fuel pump, but it looks like it got new fillers in the past.
Starting at $27K, now your are down to $25.5K and are buying a mid 14 second car.
If its your first GN, DON'T by a T-top car. That is rooky mistake. You won't regret buying a hardtop.
