I tried the search function. Did not find a lot but maybe I was not using the correct search words? Wondering what the GNX had option wise. Venus posted: While they 'started' out as GNs, they were actually tagged to become GNXs from the factory. The RPO code is T2L so Buick knew which ones...

I'm going to cruise Hy 10 tonite to see if any street machine guys come around. I'll probably get there 9ish. Rodney 1987 GN

Got one coming. Thanks. Rodney

Glad to hear and now know this. If I feel anything I will try to drive it home right away very slowly and carefully or stop driving it and have it flat bedded. Rodney

My friend (the guy that sold it to me) pointed that out to me. Hopefully I can remember that. :) Rodney

What fails? The motor? The pump? When the accumulator starts to fail it still stops somewhat fairly well from what I have seem. On mine it did. The dash lite up but it still had pretty good braking ability. Or can an accumulator fail in a way that you have no brakes? Past those things it is a...

The previous owner changed the brake fluid last early July before I picked it up last year. It needed a new accumulator ( I brought the German one and gave it to him to install before he turned the GN over to me) so he bled the whole brake system for me. Rodney

Yes. I am a wacko jacko. :) Rodney

It is not but I would put it in the same category as say a 70 SS Chevelle 4 speed, early 70's Cuda/Callenger 4 speed/4 barrel, 70 442 ram air 4 speed etc. It has a timeless look that will look great forever and always have a good following and many willing buyers. When I go to sell mine in...

One guy shows up at our local drive in occasionally with a 1980ish Ford Fairmont with around 50,000 miles on it. Pretty good original condition. No rust/dents. Factory tires and hub caps. Looks like it was never driven in the salt/winter. Has story boards. I wonder "why". With only 10,375...

Looking for 2 very good OEM GM push in gray retainer pins for the ECM door in the passenger foot well. Thanks Rodney

Working on one. Waiting for some pictures. I'm going to grind out the tab and cut the bottom out so my garage door opener fits in and I can close the ash tray lid. So I do not want to hack up a nice one. I can even paint the top if the chrome is bad. For now I leave the ash tray out but the...

Maybe a section for those that have cars that are very close to factory original and want to keep them that way? Thanks Rodney 1987 GN with 10,375 miles and almost 100% original. Looking for original factory license plate screws or a picture of what they look like. :)

Because it is a dealer undercoated car the tank is sprayed with under coating. If and when the fuel pump dies I'll consider my options. I would probably go to my friends shop and we would try to get the straps and rubber pieces back as close to where they were as possible and that is that. A...

If I never change the chip I have no fear of ever damaging my engine. No race gas then I drive it like a granny. I'm 60. I have no problem driving it like a granny. A/C on and cruise engaged. Life is good. Rodney

I have a few ideas also. If I break the pin maybe I can use a few small pieces of 3M emblem tape to hold the door shut and I would glue the retainer in place so it looks original. Maybe a flat head sheet metal screw so when installed is flat to the surface of the door and glue the head of the...

I can full throttle it now because I upped the octane to around 95-96. If I quit adding race gas I would have to go back to being lite on the throttle. If I can find a good OEM retainer pin I'll change the chip. The changes I have made can be quickly changed back. Lighter, rear plate frame...

I seem to see that being here and having this "I want to stay as original as possible" desire opens me to a lot of ridicule from some here. That's OK. I love my "almost as it came from the factory" 87 GN. I love to look at cars at car shows that are unrestored and very close to the way they came...

Looking on ebay for a pin I find that kick panel can not be removed to expose the ECM. The ECM is over that panel and under the cover. So even if one removes the panel the ECM is still not accessible. But one could probably push the retainer pin out from the backside and have a lot less chance...

Need my address? Rodney
