It took almost 2 years of searching, but my dad finally found a car for himself. It’s completely original except for new OEM springs and struts and possibly some repainted exterior pieces. He bought it through Kirban Racing. It only had 1 owner and has been garaged kept it’s whole life. I wanted to see him get a Grand National, but the clean ones are still going for $20k - $25k. This one sold for $12k and I believe there were only 463 made in this color, with these options. It’s a Tennessee car, and he gets to pick it up in a couple weeks. He also got my mom a 2001 Regal GS for a daily driver. Black and dark grey with 26k miles and picked it up $12k also. ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01090.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01090.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01091.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01091.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01092.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01092.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01097.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01097.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01100.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01100.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01098.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01098.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01110.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01110.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01113.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01113.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01112.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/DSC01112.jpg) ---

I think it’s a pretty badass car. My dad doesn’t plan on doing anything crazy with it. Low 13’s is his goal, but I’m sure he’ll want to go a little faster since these seem to run those times with simple mods. The only things he’s mentioned to me are a new diff. to get both wheels spinning, a bigger turbo and a boost guage. I’m sure he’ll be out at PRP a lot, too bad I don’t live in Pittsburgh anymore. I want to see it run! ---

you dont need to waste money on a bigger turbo to go low 13’s. adjustible wastegate, adjustible fuel pressure regulator, a k& N and a scan master and you’re good for high 12’s in stock trim after you turn both the fuel and boost up… ---

He wants it drive like stock, but still be able to pull some decent times at the track. We met a guy last year that drove 6 hours to Rockingham and ran an 11.2, then drove back home.
