Are you from the Detroit area? I met a guy at the Gratiot cruise a few years back with a similar story. At the time it was the highest mileage GNX I had ever seen.

I originally viewed this thread on my phone. Couldn't see the pics very well. Now I'm on a pc. What a complete pile of crap! You dodged a bullet on this one be happy!!

This in a very interesting question. I’ve met a few original owners over the years and only recall one guy that paid real close to sticker. He paid 30k sold it in 95 for 30k. Oops! He’s a Mopar collector that bought a Buick. I remember people paying quite a premium when new.

I agree with the other comments. You can find a running project 86-87 GN for that. If the 85 was clean it would be a fun driver. Most people won’t know that it’s not the “cool” version.

I feel for the other members of the team She is unbelievably horrible! It would be great to get a ringer (MMA fighter) on one of the opposing teams to put her in her place. Imagine if she were a guy. He's be laid out in the first minute. I'm digging the racing though.

I bought the nicest example I could afford. It's an 87. I wouldn't have thought twice if it had turned out to be an 86.These are the only cars I can think of where the lower production numbers don't equate to more value. I do prefer the black grill.

Thanks for all the great information guys! I’ll likely address the power master in the spring. I put the cars away for the winter for the most part, but if I have a chance I’ll get things started.

Found a couple of threads dealing with the brakes. I think I'll go with the vacuum brake conversion. Is there a kit readily available for our cars?

A lot of GNs were raced when they were new. Mods are very acceptable, but original equipment will pull a bit of a premium. Just like the first gen muscle cars. The big difference with GNs, 5.0s, and other second gen muscle is that many were purchased as second vehicles and subsequently not all...
Thanks for the input guys! Can my original bumper fillers be refinished? I will check to see if they’re brittle.
What service needs to be done to the power master? I will look for it I’ll n the forum.
