Default WTS/WTT 86 Buick Grand National

Testing the waters to see what kind of action I get...
86 Grand National currently wearing an 87 grill (have the 86 grill too). I'm doing this from memory so I will miss a few things no doubt. First of all I am going to say it needs a trans rebuild as it is flaring up at the shift points under WOT, otherwise shifts fine. It also needs bumper fillers (which I may replace anyway), a little body work (assorted door dings, etc accumulated over 22 years), d/s door hinge pins and paint. The car is essentially rust free. As with most mid 80's GM cars the power antenna doesn't work. TITLE IS CLEAN AND IN MY POSSESSION. Carfax will show that all is well, NO issues.

Here's what it has:

Engine/Exhaust:
-rebuilt about 3k miles ago
-.020 JE forged pistons
-204/214 cam (mild - step up from stock)
-ported heads with cometic gaskets and ARP headbolts.
-steel center main caps
-double roller timing set
-60# mototron injectors
-3" LT-1 MAF with translator
-TurboTweak chip (the best chip going)
-160* t-stat with billet neck
-Caspers cam sensor cap
-3" ATR downpipe
-Turbonetics Evolution wastegate with in-car adjustability
-test pipe with cutout
-Hooker 2.5" catback

Suspension:
-ROH 17" wheels with NEW (maybe 300 miles on them) Bridgestone RE750 tires; 235/45-17 front; 275/40-17 rear
-Savitske Classic and Custom Stage 2 Street Comp with lightweight adjustable upper a-arms
-Eibach springs
-Koni adjustable shocks
-completely rebuilt f/e with polygraphite bushings and Global West adjuster sleeves and Del-a-lum lower a-arm bushings
-front frame braces (F-41 braces)
-rear seat braces
-1" Spohn rear sway bar.
-Basically this car handles like a mo-fo and is lowered about 3" front, 1.5" rear.

Other (here's where I will miss some stuff for sure:
-Rebuilt G-80 rear
-F-body aluminum radiator
-Converted to vacuum brake system (much more reliable that stock Powermaster)
-aluminum rear drum brakes with sticky shoes.
-Currently running stock turbo and i/c but the motor was built to handle much more.
-p/w, pdl, tilt wheel
-Sony CD player
-buickgn.com billet shifter handle

I'm sure I will need to add a few things. Car is located in the Hunteredon/Somerset/Warren county vicinity in NJ. I would trust it to drive just about anywhere. I am possibly looking to trade for a 98-02 SS or WS-6 or maybe even the right LT-1 powered SS or WS-6 or will sell for $10k/obo. I'll just throw it out there that a 70 C-10 shortbed, 67 Chevy II or 70.5 Firebird/Trans Am are also on the list....let's see what you have.

Pics are in sig...most recent ones are on the last pages of the 86 Grand National album

I'm really hoping for an SS or WS-6. Thanks though. I've got a couple SS's lined up and a Lingenfelter Vette if I can find a kidney to sell.

I would kill myself before I even got to the end of the driveway. As much of a speed freak as I am I know my limits as far as self control....and I would have none on a 'Busa. I need something to share with my 1 year old daughter too. Thanks for the offer, but I guess I'm a "cager"
