BREAKING NEWS REAR SEAT BRACES ARE IN STOCK -
Our very popular rear seat brace kit #1586 for $99.95 a set. We have sold literally hundreds and hundreds of these. Initially made by a customer of ours on the west coast way back in the late 1980s reason it has such a low part number! When he retired he gave me the rights to make it. There is no doubt every G body car with the T-top option would greatly benefit from this easy upgrade to make. You would feel the improvement instantly once you took it for a drive after you did the installation. A typical Saturday afternoon project that reaps huge benefits. Benefits a hardtop model also. Anyone who will tell you any upgrades to stiffen the suspension is highly recommended. You do the brakes, this is just another upgrade that makes perfect sense. These 4-piece rear seat braces are in stock for immediate delivery.
One item and I believe our company is the only one that offers it, is the GM AC Delco Evaporator Receiver. The original Evaporator is satin or semi black. The GM AC Delco ones you buy today that companies sell are bare metal. This is a very visible part under the hood. We buy the original AC Delco units and get them powder coated semi black so they look 100% correct. You pay more, but you get a part that looks 100% correct. I got a bunch now getting powder coated and we expect to have ready to fill orders in about a week…just in time for summer. Part number #7768 and the price is $89.95. It makes little sense to install a part that is visible under the hood that is not correct looking. Plus it's an original GM AC Delco part shipped in the original box. One can only guess how much longer AC Delco will have this part in stock for us to buy and get powder coated.
NEW GM LICENSED GRAND NATIONAL EMBLEM SIGN UPDATE -
They are now in stock at our Illinois location. All back orders have been processed. We will keep you posted as we hope to secure a deal with this company to make other related signs for us using the same format. We appreciate the compliments we've been receiving from those of you that have gotten the sign already. We apologize for the initial delay. It was due in part the need to get an additional box made to protect the sign from damage in shipping. Again the part number is #8020 on our website. Unlike pictures of cars for sale the sign in person actually looks better than the picture on our website!!!!
1987 TURBO-T HARDTOP BLACK EXTERIOR WITH BLACK OUT PACKAGE UPDATE -
New information: The seller is open to any reasonable offer. The asking price is $34,900. All reasonable offers considered. We have a lot of photos including many of when the work was being done by Steve V’s Automotive in Elberon, Virginia. This can all be verified by calling Steve direct at 757-560-2782. He works on many of these cars for customers and even performed work on my 3rd test car for the owner who bought it from me years ago. Steve also owns one of my cars that he purchased back in 2006. At the time Steve remembers the Grand National he bought was number 298 as I was closing in on the magic 300 number of Turbo Regals I sold. Now that figure surpasses 350. Hard to believe. Remember this car has only gone about 1,000 miles since Steve performed all this work in 2018. This model 1987 Turbo-T was only produced for a short time in the Fall of 1986 due to the release of the WE4 model. All the paperwork the owner has will back this up. For more info and photos email me direct [email protected]
STUDEBAKERS BOTH STILL AVAILABLE -
The seller just pulled the Hawk out of storage last week and it fired right up after its winter hibernation. The Champ truck Chevy powered is priced at $17,900. The 1962 Hawk V8 is priced at $21,900. Having personally owned two of the 1963 Studebaker Hawks in 1969 they were cars ahead of their time with full gauge packages and disc brakes. Not to mention great styling in a coupe form. Both vehicles have some wiggle room in the pricing. One vehicle came from Texas and the other vehicle came out of California so rust is not any concern. Both belong to a long time friend of mine who resides maybe 30 minutes from my location. Again me email for more details [email protected]
1987 TURBO-T FOR SALE -
We just got word of this car for sale last week. Owner resides in Florida. Prior to this he lived in Nevada. Car was originally sold in Pennsylvania. Car has no rust and has been garaged. Mostly stock with new Pypes exhaust system and Spoolfool fillers. Car is a T-Top. Black exterior gray interior. Originally had the chrome package, but the owner had everything redone in black powder coating or paint so it appears to have the black out option. Wheels are clear coated so they still look new. Tires have maybe 1,000 miles on them. Car has all our brace kits installed. This includes the 4-piece rear seat brace kit and front triangle set. The reason for selling? He has another performance car and the garage is only a 2-bay. His wife wants one garage bay for her car!
Car only has 38,000 actual miles on it. It has a red pinstripe down both sides in the factory position that has been covered over with a light gray pinstripe. Car runs 100% and AC works. Original paint with the usual checking in the hood due to age. Interior is quite nice. Has aluminum supports front and rear. Also has the top of the line am/fm cassette EQ radio. Trunk ID label intact. VIN1G4GJ1171HP422127. Carfax is clean and in July 2007 the car had 34,000 miles on it. So if you do the math, the car has only been driven 4,000 miles in the last 15 years! The asking price is $34,900. For more pictures, and info contact me [email protected] we do have a recent video of the car available. Remember low mileage examples are very hard to find with no rust issues.
PHOTO 1 - We show 4 views of this Florida black Turbo-T T-Top example with 38,000 actual miles.
ANOTHER 1987 GRAND NATIONAL HARDTOP HAS BECOME AVAILABLE -
This was actually one of my cars I sold back in 2005. Back then the car had 14,000 miles on it. Now it has 15,000 miles in round numbers. Amazingly, the owner has driven the car less than 1,000 miles in 17 years time! He resides in Florida. He is basically afraid to drive. The car is 99% stock. When I bought it to resell it already had the AVC style GNX dash in it and I gave the owner the original speedo unit. It is a true 15,000 miles Grand National that is well optioned. This is a rare find that has been garaged. Owner has all the glove box booklets and the window sticker. The asking price is $67,900. I do have photos and more information. Simply email me [email protected] These rare 99% original examples are getting costly to purchase and values keep climbing.

WE JUST SECURED A DEAL FOR A 20 YEAR PARTS COLLECTION -
We have been working on this deal for a few weeks. We have a friend going to pick up all the parts the first week in April. Watch for parts to appear in the Inner Circle.
DREAM GIVEAWAY UPDATE -
Unfortunately they jumped the gun before I could supply them with info on a 20,000 mile 1986 Grand National I knew was for sale. Instead they found a 600 mile Monte Carlo SS. Hopefully once that car goes through the giveaway which runs I believe 11 months on each vehicle they will consider a Grand National. They giveaway a huge assortment of desirable cars and in some cases even give you money to pay towards the sales tax! Their website is dreamgiveaway.com Or call 866-600-0646. Here is just one example: two Corvettes, a 1965 big block and a 2022 C8 plus $40 grand for taxes! Tickets are cheap!
TWO MORE LOCAL CARS NEAR ME THAT CAUGHT MY EYE STILL AVAILABLE -
Both are fairly close to my house. I have photos of both these cars. One is a red convertible Alfa Romeo manual shift. Runs and drivers fairly new top repaint is ok. Interior needs attention. It is a 1991 model. Solid little car. The asking price is $7500. I have pictures of this car. Email me [email protected] to see the photos. Seems to be complete and fairly original. You don’t see many of these cars around.
The other car is “Kirban Quality” inside and out. It is a real beauty. A 2015 Buick Encore, well optioned all wheel drive. Frost white against a stitched black cloth and leather interior. Still smells new inside! No one single dent or scratch anywhere wheels are very very nice you can tell it has been extremely well maintained. Interior is flawless, the back seat doesn't look like it was ever used. Small curb rash on one wheel otherwise wheels are pristine, no brake dust, nothing. Here is the kicker only has 45,000 miles on this 2015 model. The bad news? Has a reconstructed title. Here is the background on that. About 4 years ago it was totaled. The body shop replaced the following parts: new bumper, front core support fenders, hood and air bag all replaced with factory GM parts. The reason he used GM parts? Read on.
However the body shop that bought it wanted it for his father in law. Because of this they did a top notch repair using only GM parts. Like the kind of quality my son does. The father in law is 92 and suffered a stroke recently and had to surrender the car keys. The price is just $13 grand!!!! It has the latest PA inspection. You could drive it for many years and enjoy it. I looked at this Buick carefully. The fact this was done 4 years ago makes everything match perfectly. Interior is mint, even the driver's seat. The frost white paint just stands out on this Buick Encore. If you did not see the title you would not know it was hit in the front. I have a lot of photos of this Buick Encore. Email me [email protected] for more info and pictures.
Note: Due to space limitations we will delete this info on these two cars in next week’s Inner Circle.
LOCAL TO ME 1990 CORVETTE WITH GLASS TOP FOR SALE -
The Corvette is a 1990 white (repaint) with black interior. New Borla exhaust. Automatic. New tires and latest PA inspection. Car has the glass top option. It also has the 3 position suspension options. No other information at this time. Asking price is just $10,900. Car belongs to our mail man so I will have more info next week. I believe the actual mileage is 85,000.
1965 MUSTANG V8 COUPE FOR SALE STILL AVAILABLE -
This car is owned by a long time customer who had the 3 Turbo Regals and Syclone I recently sold. This Mustang coupe has had a frame off restoration. Garage kept. In the last two years it has gotten a new brake system, Gas tank, brake lines, 3-row radiator, rebuilt carb, and new battery. Car has only 72,000 actual miles. The price tag is $25,000. Contact me [email protected] for info. Car is located near Nashville, Tennessee. This car seems like a bargain to me being a frame off restoration and being a V8 model with low miles. Note due to space limitations this car will not be listed in next week’s Inner Circle.
WE CAN SELL YOUR CAR -
When the time comes you need to down size or you want to strike while the value is high we have a good success rate at finding buyers. Especially now with Spring and Summer fast approaching. We handle the advertising and answering the questions and weeding out the tire kickers. We never give out the exact location of your car. You decide on the price after any bargaining is done. The money goes directly from the buyer to your bank account. I have a flat commission based on the price span. This format has worked out very well for me for both the buyer and the seller. The buyer has more confidence about the car. The seller is not bothered with phone calls or emails. Most potential buyers know who I am. So whenever the time comes you want to sell your car, email me the particulars. I can explain the process to you which also allows you to sell the car as well. My email is [email protected] I can also help you determine the price. I can also take in a trade and pay you the seller the difference. I have worked with JJ Best in the past which is quite generous in granting loans. So you have plenty of options. We have sold 3 of the Grand Nationals in the last 6 weeks! For a total of over $135,000. All 3 sellers will gladly give me a good review. We also work with a broker that can handle transport both open and enclosed. This broker is a customer of ours and owns personally a 9,000 mile Grand National! He just had the last 2 cars I sold transported to their new homes! The car needs not be a Turbo Regal.
FOR SALE 300 MILE ORIGINAL 1987 GRAND NATIONAL HARDTOP -
This example has been properly preserved all these years. Runs and drives. Been stored on a 4 post lift as part of a huge car collection in Illinois. My seller will consider partial trades of one or more vehicles of interest towards the price tag. The window sticker has never been removed from the car. Originally sold in Texas. The price tag $199,900 takes it home. The tires have been upgraded to the correct new reproduction tires. The original tires have been replaced with the new reproductions. The car has been properly preserved and runs. The window sticker has never been removed. For more info and photos email me direct [email protected]
NEED A CAR TRANSPORTED? -
Whether you need an open transport or enclosed transport we highly recommend Sal Hamed. Sal is a broker with a number of transporters and can get you the best price. He knows what you expect as he personally owns a 9,000 mile original Grand National and is a customer of ours. You must use my name when contacting him to get a special price. His email is [email protected]
OUR RARE PARTS LISTING AND SHIPPING CHARGES -
Concerning our Rare Parts. We have reduced slightly the dollar amount in order to qualify for free shipping. The total of your order on the listed Rare Parts is now $75. If your order of the rare listed parts falls short of $75 you must add $15 to cover shipping. This is due to UPS raising their fees beginning last month. You hit $75 and we cover shipping. Below $75 you have to tack on $15 additional. We also use the mail system on small parts so you will notice on some parts the price includes USPS shipping.
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS -
Due to the many issues concerning shipping to Canada and the problems that arise when we back order something which costs us more money and also you the customer due to customs we have a new system effective immediately. You must call our office with your order. We will determine what is in stock and put aside for your order. You would only pay for what we have in stock at that point in time. You in turn have to arrange the shipping either with USPS, UPS, or with Fed EX from our Chicago location. Larger items would still be shipped from our PA location. This is effective immediately.
WIDE VARIETY OF USED TRIM, BODY, BUMPERS, MOLDINGS - PICK UP ONLY
We acquired several plastic bins packed with used 1984-1987 Turbo Regal interior plastic trim parts. Almost every imaginable plastic interior part including ECM covers, T-Top moldings, seat trim, a-pillar moldings in various colors, including door panel armrests, and pull straps. I also have a wide variety of used black outside trim molding around the windshield and back glass and some used exterior Limited stainless moldings etc. We also have some exterior parts, core support, Turbo Regal hood, powder coated transmission mount, driveshaft, complete tilt steering column, 4 of the 1984-1985 Grand National wheels to name some of the bigger items we have.

If you have an idea or tip or a product idea, send it to my email [email protected]
IMPORTANT - INFORMATION ABOUT OUR SHIPPING ADDRESS –
If you are returning any cores for a Letter of Credit or cores that we charged you for, it is important that you send them to the address below. Please make sure you put a note in the box with your information.
KIRBAN PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS
529 HAYCOCK RUN ROAD
KINTNERSVILLE, PA 18930
For all other returns such as a part you purchased that is incorrect or defective you must call Christina and get a RA number. She will determine if it goes to our main warehouse in Kintnersville, PA or our distribution center.
CORES NEEDED - URGENT REQUEST –
Here is the information on our credits for cores.
STEERING WHEEL CORES. Currently we need good 1986-1987 Turbo Regal steering cores. They must be straight and not have rusted spokes. We will issue a Letter of Credit of $100 for each acceptable core. You must email me [email protected] a photo first to make sure the steering wheel is acceptable.
POWERMASTER BRAKE UNITS. Currently, we are accepting powermaster brake units. We give a $150 Letter of Credit for each acceptable core. Or, we will pay $125 cash for each powermaster core. To avoid having your core not accepted, you MUST first email me a photo of the core you plan to send in - [email protected] - We will NOT accept any cores that have severe rust issues or have been disassembled. Core must have the brake switch and brake bowl reservoir. Too many of the cores we have been getting are in such terrible shape they are worthless to us.
TURBO CORES must be the 1986-1987 Turbo Regal stock turbo. They must be complete. We will issue you a $175 Letter of Credit for each acceptable core. We need cores now. Or we will pay $150 cash for each complete stock turbo core.
BRAKE PEDALS we issue a letter of credit for $50 for each powermaster brake pedal or we will pay $40 cash for each pedal.
MASS AIR FLOW SENSORS we need original non cracked 1986-1987 Turbo Regal mass air sensors. We issue a $40 letter of credit for each unit. They are a gamble for us as some of these can’t be rebuilt.
If you ship to us, the post office is the cheapest method. Pack the item(s) with a note with your name, address and phone number.

NOTE - ABOUT LINKS IN THE INNER CIRCLE -
We have heard from a couple people that have had problems with the links in our Inner Circle.
When we check the links, they work fine. However, if you are not able to be directed to the exact website page or internet site, you can "copy" and "paste" the link into the URL in your browser (such as Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, etc.) If it doesn't link in one browser, it may work in another.
Most people having problems are using Internet Explorer. If you are having issues with links, try another browser to see if it works.
You may need to "UPDATE" your browser to be used if you are using the current version.
NOTE ABOUT PHOTOS ON THE WEBSITE -
We have heard from a couple people that have viewed the photos on the website. Because these must be low-resolution photos to work on the Inner Circle segments on the website, any photos of text don't appear clear when enlarged. This is a problem when you are trying to see numbers, such as those on the VIN labels or pages from Options booklet. Also, because of photo reproduction and computer screen variations, the colors may not be true to the actual product or photo.
If you would like to have us email you any photo at the higher resolution for viewing, just email us and we will email them to you. Be sure to be specific on which pictures you want to see - Reference Inner Circle date and photo number 1, 2, 3 or 4 - [email protected]
ABOUT OUR EMAILS -
Any inquiries concerning used parts, you must email me directly - [email protected] - and I will answer you. However, if I fail to answer you within 24 hours, please email us again.
Since expanding into used parts, I get a lot of emails and sometimes I may forget your request or may not remember who requested the item.
IN CLOSING -
Remember, the weekly Inner Circle always goes out at 3 pm eastern time so subscribers all have the same equal chance on the Rare Parts. All our parts generally are priced to sell and priced below what others offer. Also our used items are exactly as described. Emails are acknowledged in the order we receive them regardless of when I respond as I am not always by a computer and I only use a flip phone. It's best to email as soon as possible with your request(s) as many of our items sell within the first hour! Do NOT call the office on the listed Rare Parts as you could lose out by someone beating you with an email. Remember if the total of what you purchase on the Rare Parts falls short of $75 we will charge $15 extra for shipping.
BREAKING NEWS REAR SEAT BRACES ARE IN STOCK -
Our very popular rear seat brace kit #1586 for $99.95 a set. We have sold literally hundreds and hundreds of these. Initially made by a customer of ours on the west coast way back in the late 1980s reason it has such a low part number! When he retired he gave me the rights to make it. There is no doubt every G body car with the T-top option would greatly benefit from this easy upgrade to make. You would feel the improvement instantly once you took it for a drive after you did the installation. A typical Saturday afternoon project that reaps huge benefits. Benefits a hardtop model also. Anyone who will tell you any upgrades to stiffen the suspension is highly recommended. You do the brakes, this is just another upgrade that makes perfect sense. These 4-piece rear seat braces are in stock for immediate delivery.
One item and I believe our company is the only one that offers it, is the GM AC Delco Evaporator Receiver. The original Evaporator is satin or semi black. The GM AC Delco ones you buy today that companies sell are bare metal. This is a very visible part under the hood. We buy the original AC Delco units and get them powder coated semi black so they look 100% correct. You pay more, but you get a part that looks 100% correct. I got a bunch now getting powder coated and we expect to have ready to fill orders in about a week…just in time for summer. Part number #7768 and the price is $89.95. It makes little sense to install a part that is visible under the hood that is not correct looking. Plus it's an original GM AC Delco part shipped in the original box. One can only guess how much longer AC Delco will have this part in stock for us to buy and get powder coated.
NEW GM LICENSED GRAND NATIONAL EMBLEM SIGN UPDATE -
They are now in stock at our Illinois location. All back orders have been processed. We will keep you posted as we hope to secure a deal with this company to make other related signs for us using the same format. We appreciate the compliments we've been receiving from those of you that have gotten the sign already. We apologize for the initial delay. It was due in part the need to get an additional box made to protect the sign from damage in shipping. Again the part number is #8020 on our website. Unlike pictures of cars for sale the sign in person actually looks better than the picture on our website!!!!
1987 TURBO-T HARDTOP BLACK EXTERIOR WITH BLACK OUT PACKAGE UPDATE -
New information: The seller is open to any reasonable offer. The asking price is $34,900. All reasonable offers considered. We have a lot of photos including many of when the work was being done by Steve V’s Automotive in Elberon, Virginia. This can all be verified by calling Steve direct at 757-560-2782. He works on many of these cars for customers and even performed work on my 3rd test car for the owner who bought it from me years ago. Steve also owns one of my cars that he purchased back in 2006. At the time Steve remembers the Grand National he bought was number 298 as I was closing in on the magic 300 number of Turbo Regals I sold. Now that figure surpasses 350. Hard to believe. Remember this car has only gone about 1,000 miles since Steve performed all this work in 2018. This model 1987 Turbo-T was only produced for a short time in the Fall of 1986 due to the release of the WE4 model. All the paperwork the owner has will back this up. For more info and photos email me direct [email protected]
STUDEBAKERS BOTH STILL AVAILABLE -
The seller just pulled the Hawk out of storage last week and it fired right up after its winter hibernation. The Champ truck Chevy powered is priced at $17,900. The 1962 Hawk V8 is priced at $21,900. Having personally owned two of the 1963 Studebaker Hawks in 1969 they were cars ahead of their time with full gauge packages and disc brakes. Not to mention great styling in a coupe form. Both vehicles have some wiggle room in the pricing. One vehicle came from Texas and the other vehicle came out of California so rust is not any concern. Both belong to a long time friend of mine who resides maybe 30 minutes from my location. Again me email for more details [email protected]
1987 TURBO-T FOR SALE -
We just got word of this car for sale last week. Owner resides in Florida. Prior to this he lived in Nevada. Car was originally sold in Pennsylvania. Car has no rust and has been garaged. Mostly stock with new Pypes exhaust system and Spoolfool fillers. Car is a T-Top. Black exterior gray interior. Originally had the chrome package, but the owner had everything redone in black powder coating or paint so it appears to have the black out option. Wheels are clear coated so they still look new. Tires have maybe 1,000 miles on them. Car has all our brace kits installed. This includes the 4-piece rear seat brace kit and front triangle set. The reason for selling? He has another performance car and the garage is only a 2-bay. His wife wants one garage bay for her car!
Car only has 38,000 actual miles on it. It has a red pinstripe down both sides in the factory position that has been covered over with a light gray pinstripe. Car runs 100% and AC works. Original paint with the usual checking in the hood due to age. Interior is quite nice. Has aluminum supports front and rear. Also has the top of the line am/fm cassette EQ radio. Trunk ID label intact. VIN1G4GJ1171HP422127. Carfax is clean and in July 2007 the car had 34,000 miles on it. So if you do the math, the car has only been driven 4,000 miles in the last 15 years! The asking price is $34,900. For more pictures, and info contact me [email protected] we do have a recent video of the car available. Remember low mileage examples are very hard to find with no rust issues.
PHOTO 1 - We show 4 views of this Florida black Turbo-T T-Top example with 38,000 actual miles.
ANOTHER 1987 GRAND NATIONAL HARDTOP HAS BECOME AVAILABLE -
This was actually one of my cars I sold back in 2005. Back then the car had 14,000 miles on it. Now it has 15,000 miles in round numbers. Amazingly, the owner has driven the car less than 1,000 miles in 17 years time! He resides in Florida. He is basically afraid to drive. The car is 99% stock. When I bought it to resell it already had the AVC style GNX dash in it and I gave the owner the original speedo unit. It is a true 15,000 miles Grand National that is well optioned. This is a rare find that has been garaged. Owner has all the glove box booklets and the window sticker. The asking price is $67,900. I do have photos and more information. Simply email me [email protected] These rare 99% original examples are getting costly to purchase and values keep climbing.

We have been working on this deal for a few weeks. We have a friend going to pick up all the parts the first week in April. Watch for parts to appear in the Inner Circle.
DREAM GIVEAWAY UPDATE -
Unfortunately they jumped the gun before I could supply them with info on a 20,000 mile 1986 Grand National I knew was for sale. Instead they found a 600 mile Monte Carlo SS. Hopefully once that car goes through the giveaway which runs I believe 11 months on each vehicle they will consider a Grand National. They giveaway a huge assortment of desirable cars and in some cases even give you money to pay towards the sales tax! Their website is dreamgiveaway.com Or call 866-600-0646. Here is just one example: two Corvettes, a 1965 big block and a 2022 C8 plus $40 grand for taxes! Tickets are cheap!
TWO MORE LOCAL CARS NEAR ME THAT CAUGHT MY EYE STILL AVAILABLE -
Both are fairly close to my house. I have photos of both these cars. One is a red convertible Alfa Romeo manual shift. Runs and drivers fairly new top repaint is ok. Interior needs attention. It is a 1991 model. Solid little car. The asking price is $7500. I have pictures of this car. Email me [email protected] to see the photos. Seems to be complete and fairly original. You don’t see many of these cars around.
The other car is “Kirban Quality” inside and out. It is a real beauty. A 2015 Buick Encore, well optioned all wheel drive. Frost white against a stitched black cloth and leather interior. Still smells new inside! No one single dent or scratch anywhere wheels are very very nice you can tell it has been extremely well maintained. Interior is flawless, the back seat doesn't look like it was ever used. Small curb rash on one wheel otherwise wheels are pristine, no brake dust, nothing. Here is the kicker only has 45,000 miles on this 2015 model. The bad news? Has a reconstructed title. Here is the background on that. About 4 years ago it was totaled. The body shop replaced the following parts: new bumper, front core support fenders, hood and air bag all replaced with factory GM parts. The reason he used GM parts? Read on.
However the body shop that bought it wanted it for his father in law. Because of this they did a top notch repair using only GM parts. Like the kind of quality my son does. The father in law is 92 and suffered a stroke recently and had to surrender the car keys. The price is just $13 grand!!!! It has the latest PA inspection. You could drive it for many years and enjoy it. I looked at this Buick carefully. The fact this was done 4 years ago makes everything match perfectly. Interior is mint, even the driver's seat. The frost white paint just stands out on this Buick Encore. If you did not see the title you would not know it was hit in the front. I have a lot of photos of this Buick Encore. Email me [email protected] for more info and pictures.
Note: Due to space limitations we will delete this info on these two cars in next week’s Inner Circle.
LOCAL TO ME 1990 CORVETTE WITH GLASS TOP FOR SALE -
The Corvette is a 1990 white (repaint) with black interior. New Borla exhaust. Automatic. New tires and latest PA inspection. Car has the glass top option. It also has the 3 position suspension options. No other information at this time. Asking price is just $10,900. Car belongs to our mail man so I will have more info next week. I believe the actual mileage is 85,000.
1965 MUSTANG V8 COUPE FOR SALE STILL AVAILABLE -
This car is owned by a long time customer who had the 3 Turbo Regals and Syclone I recently sold. This Mustang coupe has had a frame off restoration. Garage kept. In the last two years it has gotten a new brake system, Gas tank, brake lines, 3-row radiator, rebuilt carb, and new battery. Car has only 72,000 actual miles. The price tag is $25,000. Contact me [email protected] for info. Car is located near Nashville, Tennessee. This car seems like a bargain to me being a frame off restoration and being a V8 model with low miles. Note due to space limitations this car will not be listed in next week’s Inner Circle.
WE CAN SELL YOUR CAR -
When the time comes you need to down size or you want to strike while the value is high we have a good success rate at finding buyers. Especially now with Spring and Summer fast approaching. We handle the advertising and answering the questions and weeding out the tire kickers. We never give out the exact location of your car. You decide on the price after any bargaining is done. The money goes directly from the buyer to your bank account. I have a flat commission based on the price span. This format has worked out very well for me for both the buyer and the seller. The buyer has more confidence about the car. The seller is not bothered with phone calls or emails. Most potential buyers know who I am. So whenever the time comes you want to sell your car, email me the particulars. I can explain the process to you which also allows you to sell the car as well. My email is [email protected] I can also help you determine the price. I can also take in a trade and pay you the seller the difference. I have worked with JJ Best in the past which is quite generous in granting loans. So you have plenty of options. We have sold 3 of the Grand Nationals in the last 6 weeks! For a total of over $135,000. All 3 sellers will gladly give me a good review. We also work with a broker that can handle transport both open and enclosed. This broker is a customer of ours and owns personally a 9,000 mile Grand National! He just had the last 2 cars I sold transported to their new homes! The car needs not be a Turbo Regal.
FOR SALE 300 MILE ORIGINAL 1987 GRAND NATIONAL HARDTOP -
This example has been properly preserved all these years. Runs and drives. Been stored on a 4 post lift as part of a huge car collection in Illinois. My seller will consider partial trades of one or more vehicles of interest towards the price tag. The window sticker has never been removed from the car. Originally sold in Texas. The price tag $199,900 takes it home. The tires have been upgraded to the correct new reproduction tires. The original tires have been replaced with the new reproductions. The car has been properly preserved and runs. The window sticker has never been removed. For more info and photos email me direct [email protected]
NEED A CAR TRANSPORTED? -
Whether you need an open transport or enclosed transport we highly recommend Sal Hamed. Sal is a broker with a number of transporters and can get you the best price. He knows what you expect as he personally owns a 9,000 mile original Grand National and is a customer of ours. You must use my name when contacting him to get a special price. His email is [email protected]
OUR RARE PARTS LISTING AND SHIPPING CHARGES -
Concerning our Rare Parts. We have reduced slightly the dollar amount in order to qualify for free shipping. The total of your order on the listed Rare Parts is now $75. If your order of the rare listed parts falls short of $75 you must add $15 to cover shipping. This is due to UPS raising their fees beginning last month. You hit $75 and we cover shipping. Below $75 you have to tack on $15 additional. We also use the mail system on small parts so you will notice on some parts the price includes USPS shipping.
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS -
Due to the many issues concerning shipping to Canada and the problems that arise when we back order something which costs us more money and also you the customer due to customs we have a new system effective immediately. You must call our office with your order. We will determine what is in stock and put aside for your order. You would only pay for what we have in stock at that point in time. You in turn have to arrange the shipping either with USPS, UPS, or with Fed EX from our Chicago location. Larger items would still be shipped from our PA location. This is effective immediately.

IMPORTANT - INFORMATION ABOUT OUR SHIPPING ADDRESS –
If you are returning any cores for a Letter of Credit or cores that we charged you for, it is important that you send them to the address below. Please make sure you put a note in the box with your information.
KIRBAN PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS

For all other returns such as a part you purchased that is incorrect or defective you must call Christina and get a RA number. She will determine if it goes to our main warehouse in Kintnersville, PA or our distribution center.
CORES NEEDED - URGENT REQUEST –
Here is the information on our credits for cores.
STEERING WHEEL CORES. Currently we need good 1986-1987 Turbo Regal steering cores. They must be straight and not have rusted spokes. We will issue a Letter of Credit of $100 for each acceptable core. You must email me [email protected] a photo first to make sure the steering wheel is acceptable.
POWERMASTER BRAKE UNITS. Currently, we are accepting powermaster brake units. We give a $150 Letter of Credit for each acceptable core. Or, we will pay $125 cash for each powermaster core. To avoid having your core not accepted, you MUST first email me a photo of the core you plan to send in - [email protected] - We will NOT accept any cores that have severe rust issues or have been disassembled. Core must have the brake switch and brake bowl reservoir. Too many of the cores we have been getting are in such terrible shape they are worthless to us.
TURBO CORES must be the 1986-1987 Turbo Regal stock turbo. They must be complete. We will issue you a $175 Letter of Credit for each acceptable core. We need cores now. Or we will pay $150 cash for each complete stock turbo core.
BRAKE PEDALS we issue a letter of credit for $50 for each powermaster brake pedal or we will pay $40 cash for each pedal.
MASS AIR FLOW SENSORS we need original non cracked 1986-1987 Turbo Regal mass air sensors. We issue a $40 letter of credit for each unit. They are a gamble for us as some of these can’t be rebuilt.
If you ship to us, the post office is the cheapest method. Pack the item(s) with a note with your name, address and phone number.

NOTE - ABOUT LINKS IN THE INNER CIRCLE -
We have heard from a couple people that have had problems with the links in our Inner Circle.
When we check the links, they work fine. However, if you are not able to be directed to the exact website page or internet site, you can "copy" and "paste" the link into the URL in your browser (such as Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, etc.) If it doesn't link in one browser, it may work in another.
Most people having problems are using Internet Explorer. If you are having issues with links, try another browser to see if it works.
You may need to "UPDATE" your browser to be used if you are using the current version.
NOTE ABOUT PHOTOS ON THE WEBSITE -
We have heard from a couple people that have viewed the photos on the website. Because these must be low-resolution photos to work on the Inner Circle segments on the website, any photos of text don't appear clear when enlarged. This is a problem when you are trying to see numbers, such as those on the VIN labels or pages from Options booklet. Also, because of photo reproduction and computer screen variations, the colors may not be true to the actual product or photo.
If you would like to have us email you any photo at the higher resolution for viewing, just email us and we will email them to you. Be sure to be specific on which pictures you want to see - Reference Inner Circle date and photo number 1, 2, 3 or 4 - [email protected]
ABOUT OUR EMAILS -
Any inquiries concerning used parts, you must email me directly - [email protected] - and I will answer you. However, if I fail to answer you within 24 hours, please email us again.
Since expanding into used parts, I get a lot of emails and sometimes I may forget your request or may not remember who requested the item.
IN CLOSING -
Remember, the weekly Inner Circle always goes out at 3 pm eastern time so subscribers all have the same equal chance on the Rare Parts. All our parts generally are priced to sell and priced below what others offer. Also our used items are exactly as described. Emails are acknowledged in the order we receive them regardless of when I respond as I am not always by a computer and I only use a flip phone. It's best to email as soon as possible with your request(s) as many of our items sell within the first hour! Do NOT call the office on the listed Rare Parts as you could lose out by someone beating you with an email. Remember if the total of what you purchase on the Rare Parts falls short of $75 we will charge $15 extra for shipping.
