Black Angel of Death..., What do you think of Grand Nationals? Options

[bigjiggy81]

Thinking about selling my 1g awd project and my 90 300zx and getting an 86 Buick Grand National, the black angel of death as some call them, and also picking up a decent small pickup for daily driving, have any of you guys ran into any GN's or raced any? There are 2 i am looking at, both around 8k and both with about 125k miles, I really want one, to take out to the track every once in a while and also take to car shows and all that, some people love em some people hate em, i kinda like the "joe dirt" look of them, how about ou?

I'm sure the car is streetable, but he said 'street legal' in the original post, my Talon isn't even technically street legal due to having a valve cover breather, and its a pretty darn stock car.

My definition of streetable is that I can jump into any of my cars and drive it across the country if need be, no matter if its winter or summer. If it didn't run race gas, I'd call that Monte streetable.

Having to run race gas 100% of the time is a pretty big drawback to me if you want to do anything else with the car except drag race it at a strip.

Hell, for a few grand more he could have gotten the roller rockers, gone fully fuel injected, and grabbed a 6 spd transmission. Then I'd dig it. But to me, that Monte is just a race car built for a single purpose.
