WIW Grand national rear end and transmission

[patmckinneyracing]

I found a guy parting out one really beat up grand national. I asked him how much he would want for the rear end and transmission and he said to just make him an offer. He seems desperate to just part the car and get rid of it, judging by his ad. What's a good offer on this combo?

Depends how many miles really. I would say maybe something around the lines of $800-$1200 for the pair? I paid something like $300 for an open carrier 8.5" with 3.73's.

If they're functional, maybe as much as $1500 for the set. Start with a few hundred and work your way up. Get the driveshaft too.

check out the guys pics. This thing has definately seen better days. I just don't have any money right now till the end of the month.

Hmmm, I know a few GN guys in CC. If it was one of theirs they'd know what the parts are worth, but they might be interested. End of the month is only a week away though- want me to keep it under wraps for a while?

Yeah plz. I was thinking about doing the 200-4r swap but its more than i can spend since I would have to get a torque converter and another shifter since my starshifter is for a 3 speed. I'm using a 86' monte ss rear end that is fully rebuilt with yukon 3.73 gears, but the GN rear end would definately be an upgrade. I don't want the engine, not my cup of tea.

Too bad there isn't a complete set of wheels too. That thing is beat down.
