Retail should be somewhere around $130-135k but this one had a few parts you can't get on a Super Snake at the moment and it was rumored to have sold for somewhere around $280k+. Shelby still has the car but it was sold at auction from what I understand.

Frankly, the car was a headache most of the time but was fun as hell when it wasn't breaking shit. It was fast for the day (mid 90's) running 7.30's on drag radials. Turbo stuff was still in the early stages and there wasn't as much available then as there is today. That being said, they are still a pain in the ass. Parts are difficult to find not to mention expensive and not a lot of people out there work on them or know much about them. Since you turn your own wrenches you have a fighting chance, but anyone who can't turn a wrench should not consider a GN at all.

It was an 87 had a built motor/trans, TA49 turbo, bigger intercooler/downpipe, injectors/fuel system are the highlights. From a dig it was a monster because it would just sit down and go. On the highway...well you would feel like you were about to die at any moment because they floated lane to lane like a damn 1960's Caddy. lol.

Theft is high on them too. Don't use it as a daily or leave it sitting anywhere you aren't watching it. The car can be opened with a simple coat hanger and started with a screwdriver. In my opinion, the intercooled 86/87 cars are the only ones worth having. If like the sleeper look, you could find yourself a nice built T Type car too.

I thought about doing the t-type that way I wouldn't feel bad for painting it gray and I could have it match my mustang! Well thanks for crushing my dream of owning gn there buddy lol. I would eventually end up getting it built up to what you described with the typical GNX flare on the exterior. I messed around with putting a 200-4r in my chevelle and ended up building it a few times before I gave up and went back to the th350 so maybe that's a sign? Maybe I will just put the money towards the 2015 mustang and just mess around with that.
