Re: luckiest man alive again!!!!!!

Re: luckiest man alive again!!!!!!
I think desirability will go up, but Turbo Regals have taken a dip in value in the past year and might see a slight increase after the film, but nothing major. They peaked in the past few years fetching more money they were worth when new...but that has slowed down. And "hot air" GNs (84+85), unless in mint condition, have maintained a flat value over the years while 86 and 87's skyrocketed for a time. All about the economy.

Re: luckiest man alive again!!!!!!
I missed that it was a hot air car.
Honestly, and not to poopoo your purchase, but unless you are getting a smoking deal on the car I would hold off for an intercooled model.
Too much money just to match the performance of the later cars, and then you have a harder time with much more money invested when pushing it for bigger numbers.

Re: luckiest man alive again!!!!!!
well thanks for the input guys, but for the price you cant beat it, 3500.00 and supposely the motor and trans have been done, and have been doing alot of research on those cars, and i plan to keep it for a while, so i will buy it, and see what happens, you guys are hard to please, i remember the last time , when i found the syclone at a used car place, and the sales people didnt even know what they had, so i bought the syclone for 3200.oo, and everybody thought i was bullshitting!!! well i can get that grand national to run and look good, but regardless the way the economy is, there is always somebody looking and willing to pay money for these vechicles, regardless if its a syclone, grand national, or any other car.:tup:

Re: luckiest man alive again!!!!!!
Did they convert to an intercooled setup, or is it still the top mount hot-air setup?

Who are you trying to please? It's always easier to tell someone else what to do with their money, or what to hold out for...(guilty of it myself). End of the day, whose garage will it be in? Morgan x2, congrats on the find! :tup: Did things pan out for you over the weekend?

Re: luckiest man alive again!!!!!!
Hot Air cars are nice if you don't want to go fast at all.. if you do and plan on dumping $$ into mods then just sell it and pickup an 86/87 gn and start with that because it's a completely different beast then a hot air car. What you would waste on getting a hot air car into the 12s would take you about $500 bucks and a set of tires for an 86 and 87
