Grand National Vs modded C5 corvette

[tenaciousvirgil]

How would I check by the vin? the title says: make [buick] then model/body [CP RET]

A roller GN getting more than 3 grand? Without an engine and trans the only thing left worth getting is the rear end. Other than that you can get the rest of the parts from any regal. Just my opinion.

I said a roller not a parts car.
Engine my have made that car what it is but the engines are relatively cheap to replace if you want a nice running stock one.
The real value of a GN is the numbers that say its a real one.
If you can find a nice roller GN (a real one) for 3 grand or less, let me know because I will buy it in a heart beat and take the turbo v6 out of my (original 305) regal and stuff it in that one.

tenaciousvirgil ....Is the original sticker with all the option codes still inside the trunk lid?
Check on turbobuick.com or turbobuicks.com. Those guys will help you decode your car for you.

I'm sure this guy would take 3k no problem.

BTW if you do have the option sticker still there, the code "WE4" would designate it as a grand national.

Cost me 3 grand just to get it here. Looks like it needs more than just an engine and trans too.

Could also be WE2

I will check the numbers tomorrow. I bought this off a high school kid who needed the money bad. He originally wanted 5k for but it needed trans work so I talked him down

Its a GN checked from the identity sticker

hi you guys will get a kick out of this. My grand national is decent fast nothing crazy its got a 350 not sure Hp but anyways. I just got my car back from the trans shop and Pulled up next to my boss in his C5 (it has heads and cam dynamo at 433 rwhp)

First light Just waste him off the line. He forgot his traction Control on.
Next light we line up again, I timed it perfect Got an awesome jump. His window was open and couldn't hear his tires spinning because of my loud exhaust. Wasted him again!!

Best part of all was the kid who I bought my car from (because he was broke) Was sitting at the corner HA!

Wow that's a CLASSIC story bro, love it and great to hear that it turned out to be a real GN... good score and congrats on the win, and over your own boss to boot!!!!
