And what's funny, nobody wants to give anything for it now. I was really hoping someone get the engine. Like you said, moving on.

I had it jacked up, replacing the wire harness and installing my XFI sportsman. The right front tire was off and so was the inner fender. I haven't had the time to work on it over a year since I worked on reviving our local Fireworks display. We had about 40 minutes from when the swale next door overflowed until I to turn off the electric. We ended up with 26" of water in the shop, No, not salt water. I don't know about another project, I'll be 62 next year. I might just enjoy driving the cars I have, I thinking racing is out of the picture.

If I'd buy it back I'd need 5K for the engine: Steel crank, forged rods and pistons, champion heads. Our quickest run was 11.17. Another grand you can have the 350 trans w/ reverse valve body. The insurance company wants to know by Friday what I'm doing. Mount Joy PA, 17552

It looks like the GN is headed to the shredder

Did the ins co take it ?? Why do ya say heading to the shredder ??

Going to junk, it will be one of those cars going down the highway on a car carrier with wrecked cars. I think they get auctioned off at special sales or crunched up for Pepsi cans. The numbers they are offering doesn't make any sense to buy it back

we are all sorry to hear that!  You don't have to be a stranger just because you may not have a Buick!
I'm a terrible lurker

Sorry to hear of your loss, but only good thing you recovered your monies worth.
Are you going to part out?
It's too early to tell. This whole ordeal has kicked my ass.

IHADAV8 Playground / Saying good bye to my GN

As some of you know, my shop got flooded. The GN was in the hobby shop and water got in from the seats on down. We called the insurance company and they've opted to total it. If the numbers are OK, I am more than likely going that route. I'm thankful for the good experiences we had with the car, but it seems it time to move on.

Rich it looks like you have a huge leak. Is 60 and 60 with the compressor running? You're right, when you put the system into a vacuum it is boiling moisture out of the system, usually in several hours. The last thing you should be installing is the accumulator and orifice tube after you have it all figured out.

Frivolous lawsuits, greedy Pharma, too many moochers that can but don't pay a dime is the expense side. People that used to pay (and lost) a reasonable premium and now can't afford the new cost is the income for the program. The plan was designed for everyone to pay their fair share, a plan doomed to fail from the beginning.

two secrets to making money on cars.  Pick the right car and spend the absolute minimum on it before selling it.  No one that I know ever consistently did either.
3rd secret, you may not have a conscience
