So how are the northstars compared to the VIIIs engine in your opinion?

I hate ducks
Its not a bad motor it just has many dumb things. Its cooling system is stupid. Starter placement is stupid. They have nice power and dont sound bad. They even look kinda nice but they face the wrong way. They are overly sensative to anything.
As for durability? They cant come near a Modular motor.
So there have been a few more to roll through since last updated but I am most excited about whats being delivered to me in a couple hours. Ill get to that in a moment.
Picked up another white SHO. Very nice condition and ran great. New owner loves it.
96 Suburban is now towing jet skis in Austin:
One owner 93 Deville with under 100k. Had some bad injectors but for $500 it was a good buy. New owners love it.
Yet another 92 one owner uber low mile New Yorker. Has 68k on it. No sun fade on the interior, just took the picture with the wrong light angle.
What I am excited about is whats in route to my house now. Very clean 95 pearl on Ivory base. Working and newish air ride, new trans, new front end stuffs etc etc. Going a little deep on it and wont make a great profit cause I need to do some work on it but I have a customer that wants one real bad and this one deserves a good home.

I saw that mark on craigslist a few weeks ago..that looks like a car that was owned by someone on here..I remember seeing it in a thread having to do with painted grilles..was a ivory 1st gen with a matching grille like this car.
Nope. Was done 20k previously. It is ready for a timing belt.

Actually have that Gen 1 bookmarked, just in case I felt like making a move on it, but I decided not too. Not finding many on Craigslists these days, but some good ones do pop up. Nice find, hope you make a decent profit from it!

every SHO i get near i do rod bearings. maybe they were done, but i don't trust them!non interference motors. so timing belt gets inspected for wear and replaced as necessary.
i saw that color matched grill on mark viii . org once.
This Marks grill is not color matched. It is silver. Plus it was just listed for sale today on CL and DFWM. Turns out I know the guy from the interwebz. Very cool and honest dude.
Car is here and very clean. Gonna have to do the rear shock bushings, front strut rod bushings, replace the factory JBL amp, replace a couple height sensors, one rear vent and the windshield then charge the AC but all in all she is a nice ride. Its just so..... white.
